It covers the heating of matter to super-high temperatures and pressures, novel schemes of fast particle acceleration, matter far from thermal equilibrium, stimulated radiation scattering, relativistic optics, strong field QED, as well as relevant applications, such as extreme states of matter, controlled fusion, and novel radiation sources. All models and methods considered are introduced as they arise and illustrated by relevant examples. Each chapter contains a selection of problems to test the reader's understanding, to apply the models under discussion to relevant situations and to discover their limits of validity. The carefully chosen illustrations greatly facilitate the visualization of physical processes as well as presenting detailed numerical results. A list of useful formulas and tables are provided as a guide to quantifying results from experiments and numerical simulations. Each chapter ends with a description of the state of the art and the current research frontiers. 410 0$aGraduate Texts in Physics,$x1868-4513 606 $aLasers 606 $aPhotonics 606 $aPlasma (Ionized gases) 606 $aQuantum optics 606 $aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030 606 $aPlasma Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24040 606 $aQuantum Optics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24050 615 0$aLasers. 615 0$aPhotonics. 615 0$aPlasma (Ionized gases). 615 0$aQuantum optics. 615 14$aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices. 615 24$aPlasma Physics. 615 24$aQuantum Optics. 676 $a621.36 700 $aMulser$b Peter$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0841470 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996418177203316 996 $aHot Matter from High-Power Lasers$91886614 997 $aUNISA
