Abstract
The Gérard Mourou Center for Ultrafast Optical Science (CUOS) at the University of Michigan has constructed a new high-power laser user facility called ZEUS (the Zettawatt Equivalent Ultrashort pulse laser System), which is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The ZEUS currently operates at a power exceeding 2 PW with a pulse duration of 25 fs. The facility has three shielded target areas mainly dedicated to external user experiments. The development of the laser facility, specifically designed to enable frontier plasma physics experiments, is described.
