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 …

Attosecond science has paved the way for direct probing of electron dynamics in gases and
solids. This review provides an overview of recent attosecond measurements, focusing on …

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 …

Attosecond pulses are generated by a macroscopic number of ionizing atoms interacting
with a focused laser pulse, via the process of high harmonic generation. The physics of their …

High-harmonic generation provides an attractive light source of coherent radiation in the
extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) and soft-x-ray regions of the spectrum and allows for the …

We describe the recent emergence of attosecond science, assessing the present state of the
art and discussing several recent examples where attosecond electron dynamics has been …

We theoretically investigate the high-order harmonic generation in a helium atom with a two-
color optical field synthesized by an intense 6 fs pulse at 800 nm and a relatively weak 21.3 …

High harmonic generation (HHG) from gas-phase atoms (or molecules) has opened up a
new frontier in ultrafast optics, where attosecond time resolution and angstrom spatial …

Controlling attosecond electron wave packets and soft X-ray pulses represents a formidable
challenge of general implication to many areas of science,,,. A strong laser field interacting …

A method to coherently control electron dynamics is proposed using a few-cycle laser pulse
in combination with a controlling field. It is shown that this method not only broadens the …
