At its front end, the OMEGA 60-beam UV laser has three
independent laser drivers. Each of these systems produces
shaped seed pulses and delivers them to the stage A
amplifiers. [7/18/05]

Integrated front-end sources for each of the driverlines on the
OMEGA Laser System [2/04/05]

A three-dimensional view of the PGR optical tables containing the main, SSD, and
backlighter diode-pumped regenerators, the SSD modulators, and the periscope
that delivers the beams to the driver-line area in the Laser Bay. The tables also
contain diagnostic equipment and various optics used to point, center and collimate
the beams. The 2-D SSD modulator is located inside the x-band box.

The driver line has three LARA-s and a 64-mm amplifier. The beams enter the driver line
at the periscope from PGR.

The LARA used in the OMEGA laser driver. The Pockels cell admits the input pulse and
then, after four round trips, switches the amplified pulse out. The four-lens spatial filter is
used in defining the alignment axis.
