When an intense laser interacts with a gas of atoms, high-order harmonics are generated. In the time domain, this radiation forms a train of extremely short light pulses, of the order of 100 attoseconds. Attosecond pulses allow the study of the dynamics of electrons in atoms and molecules, using pump-probe techniques. This presentation will highlight some of the key steps of the field of attosecond science.

Die Lise-Meitner-Lectures sind offen für alle Tagungsteilnehmer:innen und die interessierte Öffentlichkeit. Der Eintritt ist frei und eine Registrierung zur Tagung ist nicht notwendig.
