We present an overview of our recent activity on interaction of relativistic femtosecond laser pulses with dense plasma. Preplasma tailoring allows to achieve efficient generation of X-rays, gammas and well collimated electron beams with the tabletop terawatt femtosecond laser. We further consider possible application of the sources designed as well as feasibility of scaling to the larger laser facilities.
