We review recent advances in attosecond science; particular attention is devoted to the
generation, temporal characterization and applications of isolated attosecond pulses. After a …

This review article focuses on imaging and controlling ultrafast dynamics of the hydrogen
molecule and its cation, initiated by ultrashort laser pulses. We discuss the mechanisms …

Molecular structure is usually determined by measuring the diffraction pattern the molecule
impresses on x-rays or electrons. We used a laser field to extract electrons from the …

When molecules are subject to intense laser pulses, electrons can be detached, accelerated
and driven back to the molecule, resulting in electron–ion recollisions. Recolliding electrons …

We report on a real-time imaging of the ultrafast D 2<? format?>+ rovibrational nuclear wave-
packet motion performed using a combination of a pump-probe setup with 7 fs laser pulses …

Probing and controlling electrons and nuclei in matter at the attosecond timescale became
possible with the generation of attosecond pulses by few-cycle intense lasers, and has …

We explored the collision-induced vibrational decoherence of singly ionized D 2 molecules
inside a helium nanodroplet. By using the pump-probe reaction microscopy with few-cycle …

We present a kinematically complete study on strong-field double ionization of H 2
molecules in two-color bicircular laser fields. The releasing times of electrons and protons …

Applying 7 fs pump-probe pulses (780 nm, 4× 10 14 W/cm 2) we observe electronic ground-
state vibrational wave packets in neutral D 2 with a period of T= 11.101 (70) fs by following …

We studied the nuclear dynamics in diatomic molecules (N 2, O 2, and CO) following their
interaction with intense near-IR few-cycle laser pulses. Using Coulomb-explosion imaging in …
