  2. 1. Measurement and Control of Attosecond Light Fields

    Author : Erik Mansten; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pulse characterization; Spectral signature; Two-color generation; Pulse compression; Attosecond pulse trains; High-order harmonics; Pulse shaping; Tunable; Fysicumarkivet A:2009:Mansten;

    Abstract : Attosecond pulses are used to study electron dynamics in atoms and molecules. In this thesis, schemes to control the generation of attosecond pulses and pulse-shaping techniques to compress the pulses are presented. Generation of attosecond pulses requires high intensity, which is reached by focusing a pulsed femtosecond laser. READ MORE

  4. 2. Nonlinear materials for optical power limiting : characterization and modelling

    Author : Hampus Lundén; Mikael Lindgren; Cesar Lopes; Bernd Eberle; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : High power laser pulses can be a threat to optical sensors, including the human eye. Traditionally this threat has been alleviated by colour filters that block radiation in chosen wavelength ranges. READ MORE

  5. 3. Sources and Diagnostics for Attosecond Science

    Author : Miguel Miranda; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pulse Compression; High-order Harmonic Generation; Ultrafast; Ultrashort; Attosecond; Femtosecond; Pulse Characterization; Fysicumarkivet A:2012:Miranda;

    Abstract : Ultrafast science refers to physical events that happen on the femtosecond (1 fs=10^-15 s) and attosecond (1 as=10^-18 s) timescales. Generation of attosecond pulses is usually achieved by interacting high-intensity femtosecond pulses with matter (typically gases), in a process called high-order harmonic generation (HHG).

  6. 4. Attosecond Wave Packet Metrology

    Author : Marko Swoboda; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular dissociation; Electron wave packets; Pulse characterization; Two-color harmonic generation; Attosecond pulse trains; Single attosecond pulses; Resonant two-photon ionization; Fysicumarkivet A:2010:Swoboda;

    Abstract : Attosecond pulses allow the study of electrons on their natural timescale. They are created from the interaction of atoms with ultrashort, intense laser pulses whose electric field approaches the strength of inner-atomic electric fields. This thesis presents experiments around the generation, characterization and application of attosecond pulses. READ MORE

  7. 5. Attosecond Optical and Electronic Wave Packets

    Author : Per Johnsson; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; optik; acoustics; optics; Electromagnetism; Ionization Dynamics; Electron Wave Packet Interferometry; Electron Wave Packet Control; Pulse Characterization; High-Order Harmonics; Attosecond Pulse Trains; Atom- och molekylärfysik; Atomic and molecular physics; akustik; Elektromagnetism;

    Abstract : When a low-frequency laser pulse is focused to a high intensity in a gas, the electric field of the laser may become comparable to, or even exceed, the electric field between the electrons and the nucleus in the atom. Under such conditions, through a process known as high-order harmonic generation, bursts of extreme ultraviolet radiation may be emitted, with durations in the attosecond domain (1 as = 10^{-18} s), which is the time-scale of electronic processes.
