The University of Nebraska is set to unveil their Diocles laser with which they’ll study the interaction of light and matter at high field strengths.
It will have the highest combination of peak power and repetition rate of any laser in the U.S., 100 TW at 10 Hz. When focused, it will be capable of directly increasing an electron’s mass relativistically by 20X.
100 TeraWatts at 10x a second. I want one of these. Then I want a basement to put it into.
