We describe two laser systems for high intensity laser interaction experiments: The first is a terawatt system based on amplification of femtosecond pulses in XeCl which yields 250 mJ in 275 fs and routinely produces intensities on target in excess of 10[sup 18] W/cm[sup 2]. The second system is based on chirped pulse amplification of 100-fs pulses in Ti:sapphire. [copyright] 1994 [ital American] [ital Institute] [ital of] [ital Physics]
