摘要：

The properties of optical parametric amplifiers are presented to show that, in addition to their use in providing tuneable pulses, they can form the critical component in systems generating shorter pulse duration with higher power and intensity than is possible with existing systems. Practical designs are evaluated leading to anticipated powers exceeding 10 PW and focused intensities greater than 10(23) W cm(-2). (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
