title: Conceptual design of a 10 PW class laser with a hybrid amplification chain.
abstract: We design a 10 PW class laser system with a hybrid amplification chain. The hybrid amplification chain with a total gain of 10(4) composed of Ti:chrysoberyl amplifiers and Ti:sapphire amplifiers. The ability of this hybrid amplifier chain to control gain narrowing and gain saturation is demonstrated by numerical simulations.
