The Route to Attosecond Light Pulses
When an intense laser interacts with a gas of atoms, so-called "high-order harmonics" are generated. In the time domain, this ratiation forms a sequence of extremely short light pulses in the order of 100 attoseconds. An attosecond is a billionth of a billonth of a second. Attosecond pulses make it possible to study the dynamics of electrons in atoms and molecules using pump-probe techniques. In her talk, which is part of the "Leibinger Begegnungen" series, Anne L'Huillier will explain some of the most important steps in the field of attosecond research. For her research, LÄHuillier was awarded the Berthold Leibinger Zukunftspreis in 2023 as well as the Nobel Prize in Physics.
