Lise-Meitner-Lecture: Attosecond pulses of light for studying electron dynamics — •Anne L'Huillier — Department of Physics, Lund University, Lund, Sweden

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.

Keywords: high-order harmonic generation; attosecond pulses; photoionization
