The advent of ultraintense laser pulses generated by the technique of chirped pulse
amplification (CPA) along with the development of high-fluence laser materials has opened …

Recent advances in laser technology have pushed the frontier of maximum intensity
achieved to about 1022W/cm2 and investigators currently believe even higher intensities …

This book's coverage builds from basic underlying theory to more complex ideas related to
attosecond optics. It shows how the generation of attosecond optical pulses requires …

By focusing petawatt peak power laser light to intensities up to 10 21 W cm− 2, highly
relativistic plasmas can now be studied. The force exerted by light pulses with this extreme …

As tabletop lasers continue to reach record levels of peak power, the interaction of light with
matter has crossed a new threshold, in which plasma electrons at the laser focus oscillate at …

We present an experimental demonstration of extending the high-order harmonic cutoff
photon energy more than a factor of 2 when the driving-field wavelength is changed from 0.8 …

Since its birth, the laser has been extraordinarily effective in the study and applications of
laser-matter interaction at the atomic and molecular level and in the nonlinear optics of the …

Lasers that provide an energy encompassed in a focal volume of a few cubic wavelengths (λ
3) can create relativistic intensity with maximal gradients, using minimal energy. With particle …

The advent of chirped-pulse amplification in the 1980s and femtosecond Ti: sapphire lasers
in the 1990s enabled transformative advances in intense laser–matter interaction physics …
