Research on isolated attosecond pulses (IAPs) based on high-order harmonic generation
changed substantially around 2010. Before then, the Ti: sapphire laser was the de facto …

Attosecond science offers formidable tools for the investigation of electronic processes at the
heart of important physical processes in atomic, molecular and solid-state physics. In the last …

The availability of high-energy pulses with durations shorter than the period of their carrier
frequency (sub-cycle) will reveal new regimes of strong-field light–matter interactions …

The generation of sub‐optical‐cycle, carrier–envelope phase‐stable light pulses is one of
the frontiers of ultrafast optics. The two key ingredients for sub‐cycle pulse generation are …

Strong–laser–field physics is a research direction that relies on the use of high-power lasers

Over the last decade, control of atomic-scale electronic motion by non-perturbative optical
fields has broken tremendous new ground with the advent of phase-controlled high-energy …

Today's ultrafast lasers operate at the physical limits of optical materials to reach extreme
performances. Amplification of single-cycle laser pulses with their corresponding octave …

High-order harmonics extending to the X-ray region generated in a gas medium by intense
lasers offer the potential for providing tabletop broadband light sources but so far are limited …

One of the most advanced frontiers of ultrafast optics is the control of carrier‐envelope phase
(CEP) ϕ of light pulses, which enables the generation of optical waveforms with …

This tutorial presents the most important aspects of the molecular self-probing paradigm,
which views the process of high harmonic generation as'a molecule being probed by one of …
