Probing Black-Hole Physics in the Laboratory Using High Intensity   Femtosecond Lasers
  It is shown how laboratory experiments performed with high intensity femtosecond lasers can probe the physics of black holes in the near-horizon regime. The acceleration generated by the high intensity laser ranging from $10^{13}$g to more than $10^{18}$g is identified with the gravitational acceleration at stretched horizons. In the black-hole's asymptotic region, the stretched-horizon-reflected light shows a measurable universal phase acceleration of $c^4/4GM$.   PACS numbers: 04.70.Bw, 97.60.Lf, 52.40.Nk, 52.50.Jm
