dc.description.abstractWe report on the generation and measurement of a > 10 8 contrast ratio between main pulse and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) from a relativistic kHz chirped-pulse amplified laser. We have enhanced the ASE contrast ratio as much as > 400 times by employing a pulse cleaner composed of a μJ preamplifier and a saturable absorber. A third-order cross-correlator with a dynamic range of > 10 9 and a scanning range of up to 4 ns has been developed for the contrast measurement. Detailed analysis of the cross-correlation trace shows that the random noise of spectral phase generates 20-ps pedestal structure starting from 10 −6 level of the main pulse.en_US
