Scientists Are About to Fire Up The Most Powerful Laser in The US - ScienceAlert
Sep 20, 2022 33 secs

Known as the Zetawatt-Equivalent Ultrashort pulse laser System (ZEUS), it produces an ultra-short, extremely powerful pulse of just 25 femtoseconds.

ZEUS is going to start on a smaller scale and then build up: the first part of the laser to be turned on is known as the high-repetition target area, which uses pulses of a higher frequency but at a lower power.

One area of the laser uses what's known as colliding beam geometry, where the laser pulse is split into two parts: one of the pulses can then be used to accelerate electrons into a high-speed beam that can then be directed to interact back with the second laser pulse.
