In the 2015 review paper 'Petawatt Class Lasers Worldwide'a comprehensive overview of
the current status of high-power facilities of was presented. This was largely based on facility …

Attoscience is the emerging field that accesses the fastest electronic processes occurring at
the atomic and molecular length scales with attosecond (1 as= 1 0− 18 s) time resolution …

Real-time observation of ultrafast dynamics in the microcosm is a fundamental approach for
understanding the internal evolution of physical, chemical and biological systems. Tools for …

This review presents the technological infrastructure that will be available at the Extreme
Light Infrastructure Attosecond Light Pulse Source (ELI-ALPS) international facility. ELI …

ELI-Beamlines (ELI-BL), one of the three pillars of the Extreme Light Infrastructure
endeavour, will be in a unique position to perform research in high-energy-density-physics …

The manipulation of ultraintense laser beams gets increasingly challenging with growing
laser peak power, as the breakdown of conventional optics imposes ever larger beam …

Reaching light intensities above 1025 W cm− 2 and up to the Schwinger limit of order 1029
W cm− 2 would enable the testing of fundamental predictions of quantum electrodynamics. A …

A new type of transient photonic crystals for high-power lasers is presented. The crystal is
produced by counterpropagating laser beams in plasma. Trapped electrons and electrically …

The peak power of a femtosecond laser is limited by the size and damage threshold of its
solid-state optical components, with the final grating of a chirped pulse amplification …

When intense laser beams overlap in plasmas, the refractive index modulation created by
the beat wave via the ponderomotive force can lead to optical wave mixing phenomena …
