On behalf of the committee and as Chairman of the International Committee on Ultrahigh Intensity Lasers (ICUIL), I submit this report of ICUIL-related activities and events over the past 6 months to IUPAP.
The International Committee on Ultrahigh Intensity Lasers (ICUIL) was established in 2004 as an IUPAP working group devoted to the promotion and outreach of ultrahigh intensity laser capabilities around the world. By the committee’s estimate there are approximately $5B of world wide projects and facilities today devoted to the creation and use of ultrahigh intensity laser capabilities.
