A tutorial presentation is given describing the nature and the effects of relativistic nonlinearities in a plasma and indicating how they can be exploited in order to manipulate and enhance locally the energy density of the electromagnetic fields. The mathematical formulation and the examples presented are chosen from results available in the scientific literature.
