Abstract

The poster introduces the MELBA setup located at CEA CESTA (France). The MELBA laser delivers a nanosecond UV centimeter-sized laser beam and is dedicated to the study of laser-induced damage and damage growth within the Laser MégaJoule framework. Laser pulses are spatially, temporally and spectrally both shaped and characterized. A dedicated imaging system can measure the non-linear propagation in samples and its consequence on surface damage and filamentation. Recently, it was made possible to adjust the beam polarization from linear to circular.
