Within the framework of the ATHENA project, we are developing a high-contrast frontend to generate laser pulses with a center wavelength of 1030 nm, a
FWHM-bandwidth of 25 nm and an output energy of 100 μJ. The system is based on chirped pulse amplification with subsequent crossed polarized wave generation [1]. The generated laser pulses will in future be used as seed pulses at the PEnELOPE [2] laser facility at HZDR.
