Abstract.

The spatial quality of intense femtosecond pulses from chirped pulse amplification (CPA) systems is of great importance in order to reach very high peak intensity on the target. We review various aspects of this quality, present results obtained all along a CPA chain and discuss improvement implemented or still to be implemented.
