Abstract
Sporadically, relativistic energies have been considered already in the foregoing chapters. As the laser flux density in the near infrared and visible long wavelength regime exceeds \(I\simeq 10^{18}\,{\textrm{Wcm}^{-2}}\), the electron quiver energy assumes relativistic values. A brief presentation of basic relativity may be useful here.
