The paper was a collaboration between the three institutes LCF, LULI and GSI and the company PHASICS.

At the Advanced Solid State Lasers (ASSL) conference this week, Pierre Lebegue presented part of the experimental setup described in the paper during his talk “Protocols and Analysis of Wavefront Distortions in Nd:Glass Amplifiers During Flash-Pumping : Towards the Active Coherent Beam Combining of Kilojoule-Class Laser Chains.”
