Abstract
OMEGA EP (Extended Performance) is a petawatt-class addition to the existing 30-kJ, 60-beam OMEGA Laser Facility at the University of Rochester. When completed, it will consist of four beamlines, each capable of producing up to 6.5?kJ at 351?nm in a 1 to 10?ns pulse. Two of the beamlines will produce up to 2.6?kJ in a pulse-width range of 1 to 100?ps at 1053?nm using chirped-pulse amplification (CPA). This paper reviews both the OMEGA EP performance objectives and the enabling technologies required to meet these goals.
