Abstract This Conceptual Design Report describes LUXE (Laser Und XFEL Experiment), an
experimental campaign that aims to combine the high-quality and high-energy electron …

Intense ultrashort light pulses comprising merely a few wave cycles became routinely
available by the turn of the millennium. The technologies underlying their production and …

The use of ultra-high intensity laser beams to achieve extreme material states in the
laboratory has become almost routine with the development of the petawatt laser. Petawatt …

Femtosecond pulse generation was pioneered four decades ago using mode-locked dye
lasers, which dominated the field for the following 20 years. Dye lasers were then replaced …

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 …

This book represents the first comprehensive treatment of the subject, covering the
theoretical principles, present experimental status and important applications of short-pulse …

This book concerns itself with the physics of systems having high-energydensity. By high-
energy-density systems, we refer to those having a pressure above one million …

We review the phenonomena which occur in multiphoton physics when the electric field of
the applied laser radiation becomes comparable with the Coulomb field strength seen by an …

This review presents the technological infrastructure that will be available at the Extreme
Light Infrastructure Attosecond Light Pulse Source (ELI-ALPS) international facility. ELI …

Specular reflection is one of the most fundamental processes of optics. At moderate light
intensities generated by conventional light sources this process is well understood. But at …
