Superintense fields from multiple ultrashort laser pulses retroreflected in circular geometry

Laser field with superintensity beyond 10(29) W/cm(2) can be generated by coherent superposition of multiple 100 fs laser pulses in circular geometry setup upon retroreflection by a ring mirror. We have found the criteria for attaining such intensities using broadband ring mirror within the practica...

Superintense fields from multiple ultrashort laser pulses retroreflected in circular geometry
description Laser field with superintensity beyond 10(29) W/cm(2) can be generated by coherent superposition of multiple 100 fs laser pulses in circular geometry setup upon retroreflection by a ring mirror. We have found the criteria for attaining such intensities using broadband ring mirror within the practical damage threshold and paraxial focusing regime. Simple expressions for the intensity enhancement factor are obtained, providing insight for achieving unlimited laser intensity. Higher intensities can be achieved by using few-cycle laser pulses.
