Abstract
Super high-power laser systems have been studied. GEKKO XII glass laser, LEKKO VIII CO2 laser, diode-pumped solid-state laser and PW cpa Nd glass laser have been developed at Osaka University. They have proved to be very effective for laser fusion research. Various applications in the wide fields are presented.
