Abstract

The authors review the motivations for the rapid progress in ultra-high intensity, short-pulse lasers. The advantages, advances and limitations of current laser approaches are discussed. The potential impact on this field of new laser materials and advanced laser engineering is also appraised. Some of the new sciences and applications which will benefit from future advances in this field are identified.
