Attosecond Pulses

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advanced Texts in Physics ((ADTP))

Abstract

It is now possible to generate optical pulses with a duration corresponding to only a few optical cycles of the electromagnetic radiation in a wide spectral range. The generation of such short pulses is usually performed in two ways.
