3 Historical notes and motivation Non-linear processes is the main restriction in MOPA schemes with direct amplification of short pulses. In the s KrF lasers had an advantage over solid-state amplifiers. The shortest pulses amplified in KrF laser were 60 fs [S. Szatmári & F.P. Schafer, Opt. Comm., 68, 196 (1988)] and the highest power up to 10 TW was achieved in RAL with KrF large-aperture e-beam-pumped amplifier with expected focused intensities as high as 10 0 W/cm [E.J. Divall, et al., J. Mod. Opt., 43, 105 (1996)]. A rapid progress in CPA technique in combination with OPA in non-linear crystals by today provides most experimental needs. PW laser channels are constructed and projected at the biggest ICF glass facilities NIF (LLNL, USA), Omega (UR LLE, USA), Vulcan (RAL, UK), GekkoXII (ILE, Japan), LMJ (France), ISKRA-6 (Russia) etc. to ignite thermonuclear fuel preliminary compressed by nanosecond pulses. 1000x increased neutron yields and >0% energy coupling to the cone target design was demonstrated. Investigations of both laser physics and laser-plasma interaction during two past decades at kj-class single-shot KrF facilities Aurora (LANL, USA), Nike (NRL, USA), Sprite (RAL, UK), ASHURA (AIS&T, Japan) and GARPUN (LPI, Russia) and especially at rep-rate Electra laser (NRL, USA) have proved that e-beam-pumped KrF laser might be the best challenge for the direct-drive ICF power plant. Only DPSS laser could compete with KrF laser as a future reactor driver. We are going to regenerate an interest to short-pulse amplification in large-aperture e-beam-pumped KrF amplifiers and to verify the fast-ignition ICF concept utilizing KrF drivers that could simultaneously amplify both long laser pulses for pellet compression and short pulses for ignition [V.D. Zvorykin, et al., Bull. of Lebedev Phys. Inst., No. 9-10, 0 (1997)]. The reported work is a first step of Petawatt Excimer Laser Project started at Lebedev Institute.

To reduce g 0 it is possible to work at low gas pressure ( 1 atm) or to load amplifiers by a continuous train of ns pulses. 5
