Generation and characterization of the highest laser intensities (1022 W/cm2)

Abstract

We generated a record peak intensity of 0.7×1022 W/cm2 by focusing a 45-TW laser beam with an f/0.6 off-axis paraboloid. The aberrations of the paraboloid and the low-energy reference laser beam were measured and corrected, and a focal spot size of 0.8 µm was achieved. It is shown that the peak intensity can be increased to 1.0×1022 W/cm2 by correction of the wave front of a 45-TW beam relative to the reference beam. The phase and amplitude measurement provides for an efficient full characterization of the focal field.
