Ultrahigh Light Intensification by a Counter-Propagating Breaking Plasma Wave - Relativistic Flying Parabolic Mirror

Abstract

A method to generate ultrahigh intense electromagnetic fields is suggested, based on the laser pulse compression, carrier frequency upshift and focusing by a counter-propagating breaking plasma wave, relativistic flying parabolic mirror. This method allows us to achieve the quantum electrodynamics critical field (Schwinger limit) with present day laser systems.
