On the feasibility of a fiber-based inertial fusion laser driver
TL;DR: The proposed fiber driver provides maximum and independent control on the wavefront, pulse duration, pulse shape, timing, making possible reaching the highest gain, and will be amenable to a cheaper facility with an easy upkeep.

Picosecond pulse propagation on coplanar striplines fabricated on lossy semiconductor substrates: modeling and experiments
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model for the propagation of high-frequency signals on coplanar striplines with lossy semiconductor substrates is proposed and demonstrated, which incorporates the effect of a conductive substrate through the loss tangent in a distributed-circuit analysis extended to high frequencies.

Terawatt Ti:sapphire laser with a spherical reflective-optic pulse expander
TL;DR: A novel stretcher-compressor system to produce 45-fs, 75-mJ pulses at a 10-Hz repetition rate and it is shown that pulses from this system can be tuned for high-performance stretcher compressing applications.
