Attosecond science, born at the beginning of this century with the generation of the first
bursts of light with durations shorter than a femtosecond, has opened the way to look at …

Control over various fragmentation reactions of a series of polyatomic molecules (acetylene,
ethylene, 1, 3-butadiene) by the optical waveform of intense few-cycle laser pulses is …

An intense phase-controlled orthogonally polarized two-color ultrashort laser pulse is used
to singly ionize and dissociate H 2 into a neutral hydrogen atom and a proton. Emission …

The steering of electron motion in molecules is accessible with waveform-controlled few-
cycle laser light and may control the outcome of light-induced chemical reactions. An optical …

Laser pulses with a waveform-controlled electric field and broken inversion symmetry
establish the opportunity to achieve directional control of molecular processes on a …

A precise, real-time, single-shot carrier–envelope phase (CEP) tagging technique for few-
cycle pulses was developed and combined with cold-target recoil-ion momentum …

We demonstrate that dissociative ionization of H 2 can be fully manipulated in an angle-time-
resolved fashion, employing a polarization-skewed (PS) laser pulse in which the …

We review recent progress in the control over chemical reactions by employing tailored
electric field waveforms of intense laser pulses. The sub-cycle tailoring of such waveforms …

We investigate the possibility of using molecular alignment for controlling the relative
probability of individual reaction pathways in polyatomic molecules initiated by electronic …

The dissociation of an H 2+ molecular-ion beam by linearly polarized, carrier-envelope-
phase-tagged 5 fs pulses at 4× 10 14 W/cm 2 with a central wavelength of 730 nm was …
