Abstract
A high peak intensity laser amplification system and the method therein implemented are provided. In a first aspect of the invention, the laser system includes at least one optical member () operably introducing a phase function into a high peak intensity laser pulse (). A further aspect includes introducing destructive interference in an unchirped laser pulse prior to amplification and reconstructive interference in the output laser pulse after amplification. Dynamic pulse shaping is employed in another aspect of the present invention.
