Abstract

The progress of high-field science has greatly benefited from the high pace of development in devices and techniques for the generation of light pulses approaching a single cycle. When the intensity of light reaches 10¹⁸W/cm², electrons interact with the light field become relativistic. Currently, relativistic plasma physics can only conducted with pulses longer than 20 fs [1]. In this work, by employing a high-numerical-aperture off-axis paraboloid to focus ultrasshort pulses and correcting the wavefront distortion with adaptive optics, we have demonstrated the generation of intensities approaching the intensities for relativistic physics.
