Multi-view clustering has attracted increasing attention in recent years by exploiting common clustering structure across multiple views. Most existing multi-view clustering algorithms use shallow and linear embedding functions to learn the common structure of multi-view data. However, these methods cannot fully utilize the non-linear property of multi-view data, which is important to reveal complex cluster structure underlying multi-view data. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-view cluste

Abstract The petawatt (PW) laser has experienced a rapid development in the past two decades, and tens of giant facilities have been constructed worldwide. After realizing 10–100 PW, it seems to be close to some sort of engineering limit but its focused peak intensity still is much lower than the Schwinger limit, and therefore some technology improvements or innovations become indispensable for further increasing the peak power as well as the focused peak intensity. By quick reviewing the develo

Recently, several petawatt (PW, 1015 W) lasers with pulse duration of ∼20–30 fs have been introduced throughout the world, pushing the upper limit on laser peak power. However, besides well-known spatio-temporal coupling effects, such as residual spatial/angular chirps and pulsefront tilt/curvature, the spatio-temporal/spectral coupling in compressors induced by wavefront errors of gratings, which could dramatically distort ultra-intense pulses, has been neglected. In this work, for the first ti

The rapid development of the optical-cycle-level ultra-fast laser technologies may break through the bottleneck of the traditional ultra-intense laser [i.e., Petawatt (PW, 10¹⁵ W) laser currently] and enable the generation of even higher peak-power/intensity lasers. Herein, we simulate an ultra-broadband concept for the realization of an Exawatt-class (EW, 10¹⁸ W) high peak-power laser, where the wide-angle non-collinear optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (WNOPC

Femtosecond petawatt (fs-PW) lasers, with femtosecond pulses and sub-meter-sized beams, could be easily distorted by spatiotemporal coupling (STC). In 2016, a femtosecond terawatt pulsed beam was experimentally reconstructed in the 3-dimensional (3D) space-time domain for the first time, and showing STC induced distortions. Referring to recently developed laser techniques, traditional first-order STCs can be controlled and then removed. However, the complex STC induced by wavefront errors in a m

Abstract During the process of Bessel beam generation in free space, spatiotemporal optical wave-packets with tunable group velocities and accelerations can be created by deforming pulse-fronts of injected pulsed beams. So far, only one determined motion form (superluminal or luminal or subluminal for the case of group velocity; and accelerating or uniform-motion or decelerating for the case of acceleration) could be achieved in a single propagation path. Here we show that deformed pulse-fronts

Three-dimensional (3-D) light solitons in space-time, referred to as light bullets, have many novel properties and wide applications. Here we theoretically show how the combination of diffraction-free beam and ultrashort pulse spatiotemporal-coupling enables the creation of a straight-line propagation light bullet with freely tunable velocity and acceleration. This light bullet could propagate with a constant superluminal or subluminal velocity, and it could also counter-propagate with a very fa

In an ultra-intense femtosecond chirped-pulse amplification laser, the imperfect diffraction wave-fronts of the second and the third gratings of the compressor, where spatio-spectral coupling exists, could introduce a complex spatiotemporal coupling distortion (STCD) and degrade the pulsed beam in both near- and far-fields. Here, we propose a method of double-compressors for pre-compensation. By inserting a scaled down compressor (small compressor) with a deformable retro-reflection mirror into

We propose and demonstrate an object-image-grating self-tiling method for doubling the effective aperture of a grating by tiling it with its image to form an object-image-grating pair. With the aid of the object-image relation, the line-density variation, angular tip, and longitudinal piston errors within a tiled grating no longer exist. The method helps achieve and maintain a near-ideal tiled grating by using a simple far-field method. Because one tiled grating requires only one beam line, a si

The upcoming 100 Petawatt (PW) laser is going to provide a possibility to experimentally study vacuum physics. Pulse compression and beam focusing, which can be affected by the spatiotemporal coupling, are two key processes of generating a 100 PW laser and then determine whether its physical objective can be achieved or not. We improved our previous model of the spatiotemporal coupling where only the grating wavefront error and the output optical field of a common compressor configuration were i

The fabrication of meter-sized-gratings limits the rapid development of worldwide femtosecond ultra-intense lasers with 10PW or higher peak power, and the grating tiling method is an alternative to this problem. But the unreliability and complexity of the traditional grating tiling, which has already been widely used in picosecond Petawatt lasers, challenges its application in femtosecond ultra-intense lasers for wider bandwidth and more sensitive grating attitude. In this paper, we demonstrate

A single-cycle (3 fs) 100 petawatt laser pulse is obtained theoretically by dramatically increasing the spectrum, accordingly reducing the pulse duration, of the optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) with a new designed wide-angle non-collinear OPCPA (WNOPCPA). While comparing with two other recent popular methods of the energy-further-increased single-beam femtosecond petawatt laser and the spatiotemporally coherent combination of multiple-beam femtosecond petawatt lasers, we b
