    Main Results:

    • Simulations indicate the potential for 100-TW class amplifiers at ~300 W average power using TD and extraction during pumping (EDP).
    • Evaluated performance of different cooling arrangements and flow rates.
    • Upscaled simulations for multi-kilowatt average power with large aperture and multiple Ti:Sa disks.

    Conclusions:

    • Direct water cooling is effective for TD Ti:Sa amplifiers.
    • The TD technique combined with EDP is promising for high-power laser development.
    • Further research into multi-disk and large-aperture configurations is warranted for kilowatt-level power.
