Extreme optical attosecond pulses for driving ultraviolet, X-ray and electron sources

About the Project. Intense ultrafast laser pulses allow us to drive and probe matter at extremely short timescales. By driving matter with very high intensities it is possible to reach a strong field regime, which can be used to generate secondary sources of ultraviolet, X-rays, and electrons. Read more
