Abstract
Recently multiterawatt femtosecond lasers attract interest of high field physics such as tunneling ionization, harmonic generation, and x-ray lasers. The success in generation of stable 10 femtosecond pulses in Ti:sapphire laser by Kerr lens mode locking enables us to produce ultrahigh peak power in not only Ti:sapphire and Cr:LiSAF lasers but also Nd:glass and excimer lasers. In Ti:sapphire, a peak power of 4 TW has been obtained and is being increased to 100 TW at 10 Hz.
