Experiments on high-order harmonic generation and ion acceleration are performed with the new installed 100 TW, 25 fs laser in Saclay (UHI100). These experiments require a very high laser pulse contrast. The suppression of prepulse energy is achieved by using a double plasma mirror, which results in a contrast of 10{sup 13}.
