Abstract
Various gas lenses are briefly reviewed, together with their imperfections. We discuss the applicability of these lenses as objectives for telescopes and as the final focusing element of high-power laser systems: cw lasers in industry and pulsed lasers for plasma research. A novel phase conjugate experiment employing a gas lens is described. Pulsed gas lenses are proposed as a solution to the problems of high laser fluence and radiation damage in post-break-even fusion experiments.
