Abstract

The XCAN collaboration program between the Ecole Polytechnique and Thales aims at developing a laser system based on the coherent combination of several tens of laser beams produced through a network of amplifying optical fibers [1]. As a first step this project aspires to demonstrate the scalability of a combining architecture in the femtosecond regime providing high peak power with high repetition rate and high efficiency. The initial system will include 61 individual phased beams aimed to provide 10 mJ, 350 fs pulses at 50 kHz.
