The relativistic flying parabolic mirror can provide a higher laser intensity than the intensity a current laser system can reach via the optical-focusing scheme. A weakly-relativistic laser intensity (1.8×1017 W/cm2, η = 0.29) can be intensified up to a super-strong intensity of >1×1027 W/cm2 (η ≈ 2.2×104) by the relativistic flying mirror. Such a super-strong field can be applied to study the strong-field quantum electrodynamics in perturbative and non-perturbative regimes. In this review, the analytic derivations on the field strength and distribution obtained by the ideal relativistic flying parabolic mirror have been shown under the 4π-spherical focusing approach. The quantum nonlinearity parameter is calculated when such a super-strong field collides with the high-energy γ-photons. The peak quantum nonlinearity parameter reaches above 1600 when the 1-GeV γ-photon collides with a super-strong laser field reflected and focused by the relativistic flying mirror driven by a 10 PW laser pulse.
