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 …

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 book's coverage builds from basic underlying theory to more complex ideas related to
attosecond optics. It shows how the generation of attosecond optical pulses requires …

Full characterization of single ultrashort laser pulses, as needed for attosecond metrology
and spectroscopy, requires precise measurement of the offset between the electric field and …

Carrier-envelope phase stabilization, has opened an avenue towards achieving frequency
metrology with unprecedented precision, and optical pulse generation on the previously …

We present an experimental and numerical study of electron emission from a sharp tungsten
tip triggered by sub-8-fs low-power laser pulses. This process is nonlinear in the laser …

The debate on tunnelling times have always been full of contradictions and the attoclock
experiments that measure tunnelling delays in strong-field ionization are no exception. The …

We review recent advances in attosecond science; particular attention is devoted to the
generation, temporal characterization and applications of isolated attosecond pulses. After a …

The advent of chirped-pulse amplification in the 1980s and femtosecond Ti: sapphire lasers
in the 1990s enabled transformative advances in intense laser–matter interaction physics …

The mid-infrared atmospheric window of 3–5.5 μ m holds valuable information regarding
molecular composition and function for fundamental and applied spectroscopy. Using a …
