The Path to Practical Attosecond Sources Is Getting Shorter
Nov 1, 2023 — Attosecond photonics allows for deep insights into material dynamics on ultrashort timescales and at nanometer resolutions. Because the attosecond is the natural timescale of electron motion within atoms, molecules, and solids, the applications for attosecond photonics range from research in physics, chemistry, medicine, the life sciences, and perhaps even manufacturing. Although generating light in this domain is neither easy to accomplish nor to maintain, its eventual mastery could benefit a...
