Since the first demonstration of the generation of attosecond pulses (1 as= 10− 18 s) in the
extreme-ultraviolet spectral region, several measurement techniques have been introduced …

Advances in attosecond science have led to a wealth of important discoveries in atomic,
molecular, and solid-state physics and are progressively directing their footsteps toward …

The probing of coherent lattice vibrations in solids has conventionally been carried out using
time-resolved transient optical spectroscopy, with which only the relative oscillation …

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 …

The emerging application of attosecond techniques to molecular systems allows the role of
electronic coherence in the control of chemical reactions to be investigated. Prompt …

The motion of electrons on the atomic scale has been hidden from direct experimental
access until recently. We review the revolution in technology that opened the door to real …

Manipulation of electron dynamics calls for electromagnetic forces that can be confined to
and controlled over sub-femtosecond time intervals. Tailored transients of light fields can …

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 …

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 …

For the past several decades, we have been able to directly probe the motion of atoms that
is associated with chemical transformations and which occurs on the femtosecond (10− 15 …
