Theory of generation of bright attosecond pulses

King’s College London Department of Physics

The creation of the shortest duration, attosecond, light pulses has been celebrated by the Nobel Prize in Physics 2023 [1]. The application of such pulses increases the temporal resolution that physical processes, such as electronic dynamics in atoms, molecules and condensed matter, can be observed with. Read more
