Two Petawatts for 25 quintillionths of a second at Michigan, from Carder Dimitroff
The NSF-funded ZEUS Laser Facility at the University of Michigan produced more than 100 times the global electricity power output (2 petawatts) for a duration of 25 quintillionths of a second.
The US has a new most powerful laser
Hitting 2 petawatts, the NSF-funded ZEUS facility at U-M enables research that could improve medicine, national security, materials science and more.
The ZEUS laser facility at the University of Michigan has roughly doubled the peak power of any other laser in the U.S. with its first official experiment at 2 petawatts (2 quadrillion watts).

Those are black hole creation numbers (from chatgpt):
