Abstract

The development of intense short pulse (⪝ 1ps) laser radiation focusable to extremely high intensities makes possible the investigation of many new regimes in atomic, plasma and nuclear physics. At LLE a high power Nd:glass laser system based on chirped pulse amplification(1) is being assembled for a variety of interaction experiments at focused intensities of up to 1018 W/cm2. Plans are underway to generate even higher intensities with a second laser system having an output energy in the 100 J range, which will also be used to study short-wavelength x-ray laser schemes.
