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 …

High-harmonic radiation can be generated when an ultra-intense laser beam is reflected
from an over-dense plasma, known as a plasma mirror. It is considered a promising …

Advancements in light engineering have led to the creation of pulsed laser sources capable
of delivering high-repetition-rate, high-power few-cycle laser pulses across a wide spectral …

Via a combination of analytical and numerical methods, we study electron-positron pair
creation by the electromagnetic field A (t, r)=[f (ct-x)+ f (ct+ x)] ey of two colliding laser pulses …

Ultrashort pulsed lasers provide uniquely detailed access to the ultrafast dynamics of
physical, chemical, and biological systems, but only a handful of wavelengths are directly …

The efficiency of high-order harmonic generation from a relativistic laser interacting with
solid targets depends greatly on surface plasma distribution. The usual method of …
