[ELI Beamlines Seminar] Challenge and opportunity for ultra-intense lasers

Ultra-intense lasers (currently called Petawatt lasers) have experienced rapid development in the past three decades, especially the latest several years. Today, two 10-Petawatt lasers have been successfully demonstrated in Europe and China, respectively, breaking the laser peak-power record. In this talk, firstly we will discuss the spatiotemporal effect that would degrade the focused intensity and accordingly limit the real performance of ultra-intense lasers in high-field physics; secondly, we will talk about the possibility to further develop the ultra-intense lasers up to the Exawatt-class.
