FIELD: laser technology. ^ SUBSTANCE: method and device can be used at powerful multichannel laser installations with radiation power level higher than 1012 W. Operation of laser is based upon forming of partially coherent laser pulse. Characteristics of laser pulse are specified by design mutual coherence function. Values of the function are necessary and sufficient for optimal matching of laser-target system. Device for forming powerful laser pulse has master oscillator, system for forming space-time characteristics of laser pulse and amplifiers. Amplifiers are disposed in sequence along rising cross-section of beam to be amplified correspondingly to space-angle distribution of radiation intensity. Distribution is matched with design function of mutual coherence. High uniformity intensity distribution is provided in focus of laser. ^ EFFECT: simplified design; reduced sizes; improved efficiency of inversion reading; reduced cost of laser energy. ^ 2 cl, 1 dwg |
