1 Can the Futur of Accelerator Be Fibers? The discovery of this particle is potentially the beginning of another road, which is to explore what lies beyond the Standard Model - Peter Higgs Gerard Mourou IZEST Ecole Polytechnique Paris France 150th Anniversary of Politecnico di Milano Gerard Mourou S.L Chin, Laval I realized there would be many applications for the laser, but it never occurred to me that we'd get such power from it! - Charles H. Townes

10 The basic brick: the Yb doped Single mode Fiber

11 ICAN Application Roadmap However Need to Phase 32 J/1mJ/fiber~ Phased Fibers!! (G. Mourou patent 2005) Eidam, T. et al. Fiber chirped-pulse amplification system emitting 38 GW peak power. Optics Express 19, 255 (2010). G. A. Mourou,et al D. Hulin and A. Galvanauskas, AIP Conference Proceedings, vol. 827, (2006). ~70cm Length of a fiber ~2m Total fiber length~ km

12 CAN a New Amplifier Concept Wave front distorded By Thermal and Nonlinear Effects Wave front NOT distorded By Thermal and Nonlinear Effects

13 ICAN 42m ELT Analogy

14 Rational Behind Fiber Choice The fiber choice comes from the current thinking in the community that the highest brigthness will come from advances in fiber lasers. Modern lasers will try to eliminate bulk components as much as possible to the benefit of fibers. We can use all the low cost fibre telecom tricks: special fiber, filters, compression,couplers, etc.. Thin disk Complex systems for pump are cycling and regeneratieve amplifiers SlabThermal effect modify the beam Complex Management of pump and signal beams But
