The search was carried out using the Web of Science and its built-in analytics tools. The collected data was then exported and organized into the graphs and plots shown within the review. The search terms used are the high power laser systems combined with AND terms to extract only the papers related to the pettawatt-class laser systems; for example, a search for “Vulcan” returns 2,141 publications, but this contains many papers using Vulcan to describe carbon, whereas “Vulcan AND laser” returns only 160 publications. The search is extended for all laser systems using OR statements. If a publication mentions more than one laser system, the record is only counted once using the OR statement to combine search terms. However, when searching for the laser systems by name, many publications were not identified and so the search was extended to include terms to describe the common experiments conducted on these systems such as high intensity laser acceleration, high intensity laser plasma, etc. It is expected that there are more publications than are captured within this; however, it is believed that this search should represent a fair reflection of the publications in the field of pettawatt laser science. Finally, the initial search was completed in October 2016.
There are 96 countries who published work on high power laser from the 1970s to now; however, several of these should be combined, i.e., Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and England should ideally be represented as a single country (UK). A more accurate total of countries publishing work on high power lasers is 91.
