Development, commissioning and experimental delivery of full energy chosen shaped long pulse laser pulses at Vulcan

. This system is based on fibre optic modulators which can readily be driven by Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWG) requiring small monopolar voltages over 300 samples separated by 100 ps. This system has the potential to considerably enhance the traditional capability provided by the Pockel cell switch-out of standalone SLM lasers which have provided long pulses on Vulcan for many years.
