Cover Story: We propose a three-beam stimulated resonant photon collider with focused laser fields to directly produce an axion-like particle (ALP) with the two beams and to stimulate its decay by the remaining one. The expected sensitivity around the eV mass range has been evaluated. The result shows that the sensitivity can reach the ALP-photon coupling down to \({\mathscr{O}}\)(10−14) GeV−1 with 1 J class short-pulsed lasers. View this paper
