摘要
This article describes the development of lasers of extremely high intensity using the technique of chirped pulse amplification. A number of applications of high-intensity laser-matter interactions are described. These include proton beam generation and tomography, astrophysics, laser-induced nuclear physics, the generation and measurement of ultra-high magnetic fields and laser driven nuclear fusion.
