The BriteLight master
oscillator can be configured in a number of different
ways to yield outputs of varying pulse widths. In its standard
configuration the MO produces pulses with a FWHM of 800ps
which once amplified to 250mJ/pulse allows peak intensities
in excess of 1014 W/cm2 to be created
at target. Other pulse width options and the associated
configuration are described in the table below.
