研究目的
To introduce the physics of attosecond pulses generated through high-order harmonic generation in gases to a general readership and explore what can be measured with such short pulses.
研究成果
Attosecond pulse technology enables the measurement of phases of quantum mechanical probability amplitudes, offering insights into the temporal dynamics of electron wavepackets and opening new avenues in ultrafast atomic and molecular physics.
研究不足
The characterization of attosecond pulses requires either to neglect the influence of ionization or to assume it known from other measurements or theoretical calculations. Conversely, the ionization dynamics can be determined if the attosecond pulses are well known or if their influence can be accounted for in the measurement.
