Physical mechanism: chirped-pulse amplification. A short seed pulse is stretched in time, amplified at reduced instantaneous power, then recompressed using dispersive optical elements.
Textbook relations, illustrative values:
Peq = E / τPavg = E × fN = E λ / (h c)Ieq = 4 Peq / (π d²)
Independent check: displayed check value uses E × 10¹⁵ / τfs, compared with the calculation in seconds.
Genuine scientific features: oscillator, stretcher, gain medium, vacuum transport, grating compressor and beam diagnostics.
Engineering-inspired reconstructions: isolation mounts, cooling skids, shielded enclosure, optics mounts and service infrastructure.
Simplification: pulse-shape equivalent peak power; no laser dynamics, spatial beam modes, optical damage, ray tracing, pulse dispersion, or thermal loading are solved. Beam motion is an educational visualization, not a validated simulation.
Speculative components: original visual housings, cabinet arrangements, support and sensor layouts.
