Abstract

Abstract In 2019 we published the extensive review paper ‘Petawatt and exawatt class lasers worldwide’ in High Power Laser Science and Engineering . We are delighted that the review has achieved over 1000 citations on Google Scholar and over 750 on Web of Science. We take this opportunity to reflect on the current state of the field.
