The petawatt laser facility has a significant influence on specific research fields, such as particle acceleration, secondary particle source generation, inertial confinement fusion, and radiotherapy. Until 2020, over100 petawatt laser facilities have been proposed and under construction worldwide. In order to promote the development of ultrafast laser science and applications, the access is opened to the advanced fundamental laser facilities to researchers and technical supports are provided, petawatt laser facilities are managed by different local organizations, mainly located in North America, Europe and Asia. Based on the high power laser organizations in the world, the technical route, the laser parameters and the relevant technologies of the compact high-intensity ultrashort petawatt laser facilities are proposed.
