Scientific Advisor: Gonçalo Nuno Marmelo Foito Figueira (ist23437) Organic Unit: Institute of Plasmas and Nuclear Fusion Scholarship Theme: Plasma Physics and Nuclear Fusion - focusing optics Duration: 6 months Maximum Duration Including Renewals: 12 months Monthly Maintenance Allowance: €1,359.64 Objectives 1. Characterisation and compression of a 1 μm laser amplifier 2. Development and characterisation of a 3 μm laser amplifier Work Plan 1. Characterisation and compression of a 1 μm laser amplifier Conclusion of the development of multi-mJ laser amplifier at 1030 nm based on the Chirped Pulse Amplification technique. Alignment and optimisation of the compression stage to ~6 ps. Study of the properties of the amplified pulses, including: spatial profile; temporal profile; spectrum; and stability 2. Development and characterisation of a 3 μm laser amplifier Assembly and alignment of a broadband laser amplifier system at 3200 nm based on the OPCPA technique, pumped by the system described in #1. Includes the development of stretching, amplification, and compression stages. Study of the properties of the amplified pulses, including: spatial profile; temporal profile; spectrum; and stability Contest Procedure Applications must be exclusively submitted on the admissions platform of the Instituto Superior Técnico at https://fenix.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/fenixedu-admissions and requires registration and validation of the candidate's identity.
