Abstract

The dual-tripler scheme for enhancing the bandwidth of third-harmonic generation, proposed by Eimerl et al., has been experimentally demonstrated for the conversion of 1054- nm radiation to 351 nm. The results are in excellent agreement with theory and show that the spacing between the triplers must be carefully controlled. Designs are given for the addition of a second tripler to OMEGA and the NIF. An approximately threefold increase in bandwidth is predicted for both laser systems.
