Attosecond and Strong-Field Physics
Principles and Applications
By C. D. Lin,Anh-Thu Le,Cheng Jin,Hui Wei | Publisher: Cambridge University Press
About the book
Probing and controlling electrons and nuclei in matter at the attosecond timescale became possible with the generation of attosecond pulses by fewcycle intense lasers, and has revolutionized our understanding of atomic structure and molecular processes. This book provides an intuitive approach to this emerging field, utilizing simplified models to develop a clear understanding of how matter interacts with attosecond pulses of light. An introductory chapter outlines the structure of atoms and molecules and the properties of a focused laser beam. Detailed discussion of the fundamental theory of attosecond and strongfield physics follows, including the molecular tunnelling ionization model (MOADK theory), the quantitative rescattering (QRS) model, and the laser induced electronic diffraction (LIED) theory for probing the change of atomic configurations in a molecule. Highlighting the cuttingedge developments in attosecond and strong field physics, and identifying future opportunities and challenges, this selfcontained text is invaluable for students and researchers in the field.
