Abstract
A high brightness optical parametric amplifier array uses energy--scaleable optical parametric amplifiers that provide high brightness output. The leability in energy is achieved by using an array of parallel crystal amplifiers to handle high laser energies. High brightness is obtained by using an optical phase conjugator to keep the phase front of the array coherent.
