In this talk, we will present our path in enhancing the electron beam and laser capabilities with special attention to our pioneering research towards attaining a multi-terawatt, sub-picosecond laser pulses in a long-wave infrared (LWIR) spectral domain. In our recent R&D effort, we demonstrated 1.5 TW, 700 fs, 9.2 µm laser pulses paving a path to potentially achieving tens of terawatt peak powers in few optical cycles. Such novel ultra-fast LWIR lasers will allow to explore the wavelength scaling beneficial for a variety of applications presently studied extensively with shorter near- to midwave-infrared sources, including laser wake field electron acceleration with a potential promise of an all-optical scheme for generating collider-quality electrons beams.
