“…These ultra-high-peak-power laser systems are expected to make a significant breakthrough in high-field physics areas such as relativistic nonlinear optics, strong field ionization, and pair plasma production [9]. At APRI a CPA femtosecond 10-Hz 100-TW Ti:sapphire laser has been developed, and then used actively in several application experiments up to now, such as electron generation, proton generation, and x-ray generation [10,11].…”

A chirped-pulse amplification Ti:sapphire laser system has been designed using a 10-Hz 100-TW Ti:sapphire laser to generate 0.1-Hz 0.5-PW laser pulses and optimize their temporal qualities such as temporal contrast and pulse duration. A high-energy booster amplifier to be added is expected to produce an energy above 30 J through the parasitic lasing suppression and the efficient amplification. To improve the temporal contrast of the laser pulses, a high-contrast 1-kHz amplifier system is used as a front-end. A grating stretcher which makes the laser pulse have 1-ns duration is used to prevent optical damages due to high pulse energy during amplification. A grating compressor has been designed with group delay analysis to obtain the recompressed pulse duration close to the transform-limited pulse duration. The final laser pulses are expected to have energy above 20 J and duration below 40 fs.

The high-power femtosecond laser has now become an excellent scientific tool for the study of not only relativistic laser-matter interactions but also scientific applications. The high-power femtosecond laser depends on the Kerr-lens modelocking (KLM) and chirped-pulse amplification (CPA) technique. An all-Ti:sapphire-based 30-fs PW CPA laser, which is called the PULSER (Petawatt Ultrashort Laser System for Extreme Science Research) has been recently constructed and is being used for accelerating the charged particles (electrons and protons) and generating ultrashort high-energy photon (X-ray and γ -ray) sources. In this review, the world-wide PW-level femtosecond laser systems are first summarized, the output performances of the PULSER-I & II are described, and the future upgrade plan of the PULSER to the multi-PW level is also discussed. Then, several experimental results on particle (electron and proton) acceleration and X-ray generation in the intensity range of mid-10 18 W/cm 2 to mid-10 20 W/cm 2 are described. Experimental demonstrations for the newly proposed phenomena and the understanding of physical mechanisms in relativistic and ultrarelativistic regimes are highly expected as increasing the laser peak intensity up to over 10 22 W/cm 2 ∼10 23 W/cm 2 .
