When solids are exposed to intense laser fields whose forces are comparable to the binding
forces of valence electrons in crystals, nonlinear optics of solids advances to the …

The generation of extremely short isolated attosecond pulses requires both a broad spectral
bandwidth and control of the spectral phase. Rapid progress has been made in both …

We present an overview of the main techniques for production and processing of graphene
and related materials (GRMs), as well as the key characterization procedures. We adopt …

Intense ultrashort light pulses comprising merely a few wave cycles became routinely
available by the turn of the millennium. The technologies underlying their production and …

Nonlinear optics plays a central role in the advancement of optical science and laser-based
technologies. We report on the confinement of the nonlinear interaction of light with matter to …

Attosecond light pulses in the extreme ultraviolet have drawn a great deal of attention due to
their ability to interrogate electronic dynamics in real time. Nevertheless, to follow charge …

Laser-driven high-harmonic generation provides the only demonstrated route to generating
stable, tabletop attosecond x-ray pulses but has low flux compared to other x-ray …

This book's coverage builds from basic underlying theory to more complex ideas related to
attosecond optics. It shows how the generation of attosecond optical pulses requires …

Over the past decade intense laser fields with a single-cycle duration and even shorter,
subcycle multicolour field transients have been generated and applied to drive attosecond …

Attosecond pulses at photon energies that cover the principal absorption edges of the
building blocks of materials are a prerequisite for time-resolved probing of the triggering …
