We discuss the key important regimes of electromagnetic field interaction with charged particles. The main attention is paid to nonlinear Thomson/Compton scattering regime with the radiation friction and quantum electrodynamics effects taking into account. This process opens a channel of high efficiency electromagnetic energy conversion into the hard electromagnetic radiation in the form of ultra short high power ray flashes.
