Pulse shape degradation from optical surface modulations in a spherical Öffner stretcher

Siebold, M.; Albach, D.; Hornung, M.; Löser, M.; Schramm, U.

We introduce an Öffner stretcher for the diode-pumped Petawatt laser system PENELOPE developed at the HZDR. Spectral and temporal aspects of the stretcher system with large aperture spherical mirrors (600 mm and 250 mm) are analyzed with respect to pulse shape and pulse contrast ratio.
