Figure 5. Sketch of the optical setup in the vacuum chamber.

Figure 5

The main pulse (red line) is focused on the target by an f/10 parabola. The spot size on the target is measured with a microscope objective, making an image on the CCD camera (yellow line). Upstream the last multi-pass amplifier, about 10% of the main beam is split and re-compressed in order to be used as a probe for the EOS diagnostics (blue line). An α-cut BBO, mounted on the EOS crystal holder is used for main-probe synchronization by means of SHG, measured with a CCD camera outside the vacuum chamber (green line).
