Various papers on femtosecond to nanosecond high-intensity lasers and applications are presented. Individual topics addressed include: multiterawatt Nd-glass lasers based on chirped-pulse amplification, short-pulse amplification in tunable solid state materials, powerful subpicosecond KrF laser for X-ray laser development in the 1-5 nm region, regenerative amplification of dark pulses, application of a new matrix formalism to the design of ultrashort pulse lasers, multiterawatt femtosecond laser based on Ti-Sapphire, single-shot measurement of duration and contrast of high-power picosecond pulses. Also discussed are: high-repetition-rate tabletop X-ray laser, physics of plasmas with short pulse lasers, laser frequency charts in picosecond laser-produce plasmas, high-intensity short-pulse laser-plasma interaction at 1 micron, laser-plasma energy transport with high-intensity short laser pulses, stimulated Brillouin scattering driven by a 10-ps pump, scaling laws for femtosecond laser-plasma interactions, near second-harmonic VUV generation in Mg vapor, short pulse-drive recombination X-ray lasers, ion-correlation experiments in dense plasmas, nanosecond laser pulse generation of acoustic pulse in liquids.
