Layout of the optical EMP diagnostic in the Vulcan Petawatt interaction chamber, located near the North-East corner of the 2 × 4.6 × 2.2 m steel vacuum vessel. Compass directions are shown for reference. The laser beam was split between the two directional probes using a 50/50 beam-splitter (BS). In our prototype diagnostic, f = 125 mm plano-convex (PCX) lenses were used to focus into the fibre for simplicity. A vertical direction probe was also built, but did not provide useful data due to some movement of the chamber under vacuum, hence only the East-West and North-South probes (EWP and NSP) were used, with crystals 1.25 m from target chamber centre (TCC).
