Attosecond transient absorption is one of the promising new techniques being developed to
exploit the availability of sub-femtosecond extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses to study the …

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 …

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 …

Molecules show a much increased multiple ionization rate in a strong laser field as
compared with atoms of similar ionization energy. A widely accepted model attributes this to …

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 …

By combining carrier-envelope phase (CEP) stable light fields and the traditional method of
optical pump-probe spectroscopy we study electron localization in dissociating H 2+ …

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 …

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 …
