Abstract
The concept of chirped pulse amplification allows efficient amplification of ultra-short pulses by superior energy storage materials. Terawatt peak power pulses are routinely produced by tabletop systems, and large scale lasers are harnessed to produce pulses at the petawatt level–1 kJ in 1 Hz.
