M. J. Shaw,G. Bialolenker,G. J. Hirst,C. J. Hooker,M.H. Key,A. Kidd,J. M. D. Lister,Karen E. Hill,G.H.C. New,D. C. Wilson +9 more
TL;DR: A unique high-power laser system is described that is based on stimulated Raman scattering in methane using KrF-laser pump beams that amplify a 268-nm Stokes-shifted beam to 0.5 TW with extremely low prepulse.

E. J. Divall,Chris Edwards,G. J. Hirst,C. J. Hooker,A. Kidd,J. M. D. Lister,R. Mathumo,Ian N. Ross,M. J. Shaw,W. T. Toner,A. P. Visser,B.E. Wyborn +11 more
TL;DR: The Titania laser system as discussed by the authors is the state-of-the-art e-beam pumped KrF amplifier for both CPA (249 nm) and Raman (268 nm) short-pulse modes, delivering up to 10 TW to target in high quality beams.
