A tabletop Nd:phosphate glass laser system capable of producing a focused intensity in excess of 10{sup 18} W/cm{sup 2} is described. Optimization chirped-pulse amplification, including spectral shaping and careful attention to beam quality, produces a transform-limited, 800-fs compressed pulse with a peak power of {gt}10 TW in a near-diffraction-limited spatially uniform beam.
