Abstract
The technique of chirped-pulse amplification1 (CPA) has introduced a new high brightness research tool with remarkable properties and flexibility, and at a cost and complexity within the reach of hands- on university laboratory research. The high intensities and very short durations that such systems can access represent a true frontier in interaction physics; with capabilities introduced by such ultrabright sources, high-field interaction and atomic physics studies have received new attention, and a number of programs have begun at major institutions within the last few years.
