Recent progress in high power ultrafast short-wave and mid-wave infrared lasers has
enabled gas-phase high harmonic generation (HHG) in the water window and beyond, as …

Intense ultrashort light pulses comprising merely a few wave cycles became routinely
available by the turn of the millennium. The technologies underlying their production and …

Recently two emerging areas of research, attosecond and nanoscale physics, have started
to come together. Attosecond physics deals with phenomena occurring when ultrashort laser …

Field emission of electrons underlies great advances in science and technology, ranging
from signal processing at ever higher frequencies to imaging of the atomic-scale structure of …

This paper has been prepared by the Symphony collaboration (University of Warsaw,
Uniwersytet Jagielloński, DESY/CNR and ICFO) on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of …

Attosecond science is based on steering electrons with the electric field of well controlled
femtosecond laser pulses. It has led to the generation of extreme-ultraviolet pulses with a …

The history and current status of the Keldysh theory of strong field ionization are reviewed.
The focus is on the fundamentals of the theory, its most important applications and those …

Experimental advances with laser intensities above 1 TW/cm 2, with pulse durations
between roughly 50 and 5 fs, have led to the discovery of new atomic effects that include …

Intense laser-matter interactions are at the center of interest in research and technology
since the development of high-power lasers. They have been widely used for fundamental …

This book attempts to give a discussion of the physics and current and potential applications
of the self-focusing of an intense femtosecond laser pulse in a transparent medium …
