Description

The ultrafast laser technology is evolving toward higher peak and average power and shorter pulse. I will review the world wide effort in this sector and present some technologies that have been recently, or will be soon, integrated at ALLS to achieve very high peak power. The roadmaps for some laser-based machines targeting application of x-ray imaging and particle acceleration in medical and industrial sectors will be discussed.
