5 ELI Science Creation of laser pulses with highest power and intensity, at highest repetition rates Interaction of such pulses with matter: vacuum, nuclei, atoms, molecules, condensed matter and plasmas Investigation and utilization of secondary radiation of particles and photons from such interaction Application of all this in societally relevant areas through open access for an international user community

6 The ultimate high-power solid state laser: νσ Δλ hν, σ, Δλ

7 The ultimate high-power solid state laser: Intensity and n 2 -dependent phase accumulation along the beam propagation z, the B-Integral => Gauß beam self focusing above the critical power: P crit ~ 1 MW for usual λ, n 0, n 2 (materials constants again!). Special design tricks allow up to ~ 10TW single beam power US National Ignition Facility NIF: 192 beams, ~ 500TW) Brute force (massive parallelisation) Picture: LLNL

In addition, there is a number of world-leading high-average-power femto- and attosecond lasers at ELI-ALPS and ELI-BL.
