“…The observation of gravitational waves [1029,1030] has prompted the question of whether it is possible to generate detectable gravitational waves in lab-based experiments, using e.g. laser-plasma interactions [1031] or optical media [1032]. Using linearised gravity (sufficient given the tiny signal sizes), one can straightforwardly calculate metric perturbations due to laser-accelerated relativistic ions [1033], standing waves of light [1034], or laser pulses themselves [1035].…”

Upcoming and planned experiments combining increasingly intense lasers and energetic particle beams will access new regimes of nonlinear, relativistic, quantum effects. This improved experimental capability has driven substantial progress in QED in intense background fields. We review here the advances made during the last decade, with a focus on theory and phenomenology. As ever higher intensities are reached, it becomes necessary to consider processes at higher orders in both the number of scattered particles and the number of loops, and to account for non-perturbative physics (e.g. the Schwinger effect), with extreme intensities requiring resummation of the loop expansion. In addition to increased intensity, experiments will reach higher accuracy, and these improvements are being matched by developments in theory such as in approximation frameworks, the description of finite-size effects, and the range of physical phenomena analysed. Topics on which there has been substantial progress include: radiation reaction, spin and polarisation, nonlinear quantum vacuum effects and connections to other fields including physics beyond the Standard Model.

“…The production and detection of GWs in the laboratory through this mechanism has been studied in the literature [16,17]. More recent studies have looked at GW generation in the laboratory using optical methods or EM waves [18][19][20]. Detection in the laboratory using a constant magnetic field was studied more recently in [21].…”

We propose a new method for detecting high frequency gravitational waves (GWs) using high energy pulsed lasers. Through the inverse Gertsenshtein effect, the interaction between a GW and the laser beam results in the creation of an electromagnetic signal. The latter can be detected using single-photon counting techniques. We compute the minimal strain of a detectable GW which only depends on the laser parameters. We find that a resonance occurs in this process when the frequency of the GW is twice the frequency of the laser. With this method, the frequency range $10^{13}-10^{19} $ Hz is explored non-continuously for strains $h \gtrsim 10^{-20}$ for current laser systems and can be extended to $h \gtrsim 10^{-26}$ with future generation facilities.
