Description

We demonstrated efficient gas-phase diffractive optics created by interfering deep-ultraviolet lasers in an ozone-doped gas flow. These gas optics exhibit damage thresholds above $1\,\mathrm{kJ/cm^2}$ and can be used to steer high-power laser beams. Additionally, we demonstrated spectral and coherent beam combining with gas optics. Our results suggest a potential pathway for constructing next-generation high-average-power high-repetition-rate laser drives for compact particle accelerators.
