• In this paper we describe the development of a novel front-end capable of generating pulses with >100nm bandwidth at 910nm, a pulse duration <30fs and energies at the joule level. This system has been developed as a seed source for the development of a 10PW facility for the Vulcan laser. The development is based on large scale OPCPA with the goal of producing pulses with focused intensities >1023 W/cm2 and will be achieved by delivering pulses with >300J in <30fs onto target.
