Plasma-based creation of short light pulses: analysis and simulation of amplification and focusing
TL;DR: In this paper, a parametric process in plasmas exploiting the coupling of transverse electromagnetic waves to a longitudinal plasma wave was proposed for amplifying and focusing light pulses to very high intensity.
Directly diode-pumped millijoule subpicosecond Yb:glass regenerative amplifier
TL;DR: An Yb:glass regenerative amplifier directly side pumped by four 20-W diodes is demonstrated and a free-running average output power as great as 4 W with a TEM(00) -like mode was achieved from the bare cavity, with a 0.56 pump duty cycle.

TL;DR: Reflection high energy electron diffraction with picosecond time resolution is demonstrated in this article, where the surface diffraction patterns are obtained using a laser driven picoscond electron gun, due to the synchronization of the photogenerated electron pulses with the laser source, such a technique provides a picosescond time resolved surface structural probe sensitive to the first few monolayers.
Machining of sub-micron holes using a femtosecond laser at 800 nm
TL;DR: In this article, a Ti:sapphire laser was used to ablate holes with a diameter of 300 nm and a depth of 52 nm to produce very small features in materials.
Effect of radiation reaction on particle motion and production in IZEST-strong fields
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss radiation physics in fields approaching the Schwinger field, including lepton production, radiation effects from highly accelerated electrons, and radiation back-reaction.
