A list of useful formulas and tables are provided as a guide to quantifying results from experiments and numerical simulations. Each chapter ends with a description of the state of the art and the current research frontiers.
Reviews
“The book is clearly written and is dedicated to the emerging field of high-power lasers with pressures comparable to those in collapsing cosmic objects, which exceed the pressures in the interior of stars. … The book is a course for master students and has nine chapters – each chapter ending with problems, references and a guide for further reading. … This is a very useful book for readers working in lasers and solid-state physics.” (Daniela Dragoman, Optics & Photonics News, osa-opn.org, May 27, 2021)
