Abstract
I review progress in the generation of ultrahigh peak power optical pulses in the femtosecond range. A design, performance and characterization of a Ti: sapphire laser system based on chirped-pulse amplification, which has produced a peak power of 0.85-PW with 33-fs pulse durations are described. Extension of laser systems to the multi-petawatt power level is also discussed.
