Apollonov V.V. is the leading specialist in the area of basic principles of creation and development of high power laser systems and high power laser radiation interaction with matter. He has made an outstanding input into creation and development of new branches of science - physical and technical fundamentals of high power/energy laser optics and adaptive optics, investigation of physical processes in a high volume self-controlled volume discharges, creation of high energy/power continuous wave, pulsed and high repetition rate pulse-periodic laser systems, high energy/power laser radiation interaction with matter.
