title = "High efficient XPW generation for high contrast high energy ultrashort laser pulses",
abstract = "Cross polarized wave generation (XPW) is a well established technique for contrast enhancement of ultrashort pulses in high energy laser systems [1]. Efficient conversion with XPW only occurs at high intensities. Weaker, unconverted pre and post pulses are thus rejected by the second polarizer, thereby improving the temporal contrast of the pulse. XPW has several drawbacks especially in terms of simultaneously achieving high conversion efficiencies and output energies. Limitations in seeding the nonlinear filter with high energies arise from the upper intensity limit of white light generation while high conversion efficiencies require excellent beam quality.",
