A method based on the reflection of an ultraintense laser pulse by a counterpropagating laser-boosted relativistic ‘mirror’ is proposed for generating a single sub-three-cycle and multi-petawatt laser pulse [1]. The generated pulse can reach 10-joule-energy and a peak intensity exceeding 1023W/cm2 [1]. In addition, its carrier-envelope-phase can be tuned provided that the carrier-envelope-phase of initial counterpropagating pulse is controlled. Such laser pulse is suitable for probing and potentially controlling ultrarelativistic and nonlinear quantum electrodynamics processes in the yet unexplored regime of ultrashort duration, where qualitatively different features are expected [2]. Multi-dimensional PIC simulations show that the proposed set-up is feasible employing next-generation 10-PW laser systems [1,3].
