The invention of chirped-pulse amplification (CPA) combined with titanium-doped sapphire (Ti:sapphire) crystals have enabled realization of such lasers. The pursuit of ultra-high intensity science and applications is driving world-wide development of new capabilities. A petawatt (PW=10^15 W), femtosecond (fs=10^-15 s), repetitive (0.1 Hz), high beam quality J-KAREN-P (Japan Kansai Advanced Relativistic ENgineering Petawatt) Ti:sapphire CPA laser has been recently constructed and used for accelerating charged particles (ions and electrons) and generating coherent and incoherent ultra-short pulse, high energy photon (x-ray) radiation. Ultra-high intensities of 10^22 W/cm^2 with high temporal contrast of 10^-12 and a minimal number of pre-pulses on target has been demonstrated with the J-KAREN-P laser. Here, world-wide ultra-high intensity laser development is summarized, the output performance and spatiotemporal quality improvement of the J-KAREN-P laser are described, and some experimental results are briefly introduced.}, title = {Petawatt femtosecond laser pulses from titanium-doped sapphire crystal}, volume = {10}, year = {2020} }
