The application of the chirped-pulse amplification technique to solid-state lasers combined with the availability of broad-bandwidth materials has made possible the development of small-scale terawatt and now even petawatt (1000-terawatt) laser systems. The laser technology used to produce these intense pulses and examples of new phenomena resulting from the application of these systems to atomic and plasma physics are described.
啁啾脉冲放大技术在固体激光器中的应用,结合宽带材料的可用性,使得小型太瓦级甚至现在的千万太瓦(1000 太瓦)级激光系统成为可能。本文介绍了产生这些强脉冲所使用的激光技术,以及将这些系统应用于原子和等离子体物理中产生的新现象的例子。
