Abstract

Here we report on an optical delay device for high-power laser, with a temporal range of 0-90 nanoseconds. The device is intended for studies of laser-electron acceleration using the exploding foil method. A compact 3D mounted optical design is implemented, which enables performance at a high repeatability and low beam-distortion.
