Attosecond science has demonstrated that electrons can be controlled on the sub-cycle time
scale of an optical waveform, paving the way towards optical frequency electronics …

Controlled charge flows are fundamental to many areas of science and technology, serving
as carriers of energy and information, as probes of material properties and dynamics and as …

Coupled Maxwell and quantum-mechanical equations are used to simulate the electron
dynamics in nanogaps in systems containing thousands of atoms. It will be shown that …

The geometry of gold plasmonic nanoantennae was numerically optimized to maximize their
sensitivity to the carrier envelope phase (CEP) of the exciting ultra-short laser pulses. Three …

A laser-driven quantum electron ratchet nanodevice is proposed. The ratchet consists of a
series of disconnected bubble-shaped nanodiode structures with a sharp tip to induce a …

The investigation of optical phenomena in the strong-field regime requires few-cycle laser
pulses at field strengths exceeding gigavolts per meter (GV/m). Surprisingly, such conditions …

Carrier-envelope phase (CEP) detection of ultrashort optical pulses and low-energy
waveform field sampling have recently been demonstrated using direct time-domain …

The evolution of commercial lasers has played a pivotal role in advancing our
comprehension of the natural world. Emitting coherent, high-intensity light, lasers offer …

Nano vacuum devices have demonstrated tunneling emission in low voltages due to their 10
nm scale gaps that create order 10 GV/m electric fields with just 10 V. The small gaps give …

We developed a simple lumped-element circuit model for a resonant vacuum nanoantenna
driven by beyond 100 THz optical excitations. The circuit model was implemented in SPICE …
