高功率激光器可以提供极端的光强度，但避免光学元件的损坏需要大光束尺寸，这阻碍了进一步的发展。使用等离子体作为产生和操纵光的介质，避免了固体材料的损伤阈值，并且可以支持非常明亮的辐射。我们在这里讨论如何参数等离子体放大和相对论高次谐波产生提供路径，以发展光源的峰值功率超过固态光学的能力。
High-power lasers can deliver extreme light intensities, but avoiding damage in optical components requires large beam sizes, hindering further advances. The use of plasma as a medium for generating and manipulating light avoids the damage thresholds of solid materials and can support extraordinarily bright radiation. We discuss here how parametric plasma amplification and relativistic high-order harmonic generation offer paths to the development of light sources with peak powers beyond the capabilities of solid-state optics.
