Multiterawatt laser as a front end for the OMEGA EP (extended performance) laser chain

We report on a laser system developed as the front end for a multipetawatt-class laser that uses an optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifier as a preamplifier and a glass power amplifier. Early results are presented
