Attosecond science and technology have emerged as a promising path for improving our understanding of light–matter interaction. High harmonic generation based light sources combine high photon energy, broad spectrum, short duration with relatively compact implementation, which makes them flexible tools to study modify physical chemical properties matter by acting directly on electronic degrees freedom. Because extreme ultraviolet radiation interacts primarily outer inner valence electrons, it finds likely applications in atomic, molecular, material science. Despite their spectacular successes, the development these is still subject intense investigations, searching performances terms specifications reliability. In this perspective article, we present some current developments sources, well related quantum attosecond dynamics atoms molecules.

Tailoring the properties of driving laser to need applications often requires compromises among stability, high peak and average power levels, pulse duration, spectral bandwidth. For instance, spectroscopy with optical frequency combs in extreme/visible ultraviolet region a near-IR laser, therefore power, duration few tens fs, maximal available Contrarily, parametric conversion efficiency is higher for pulses 100-fs range due temporal walk-off coating limitations. Here we suggest an approach adjust characteristics high-power chirped-pulse amplification (CPA) requirements different nonlinear converters while preserving low-phase-noise (PN) system. To achieve tunability, installed mechanical shaper free-space section stretcher in-house-developed ytterbium-fiber-based CPA The system delivers 100 W at repetition rate 132.4 MHz. While gaining control over properties, preserve relative-intensity-noise PN can easily be adjusted deliver either spectrum ideal mid-IR light generation (full width half maximum 11 nm , compressed 230 fs) or highly processes such as high-harmonic ( id="m2"> form="prefix">- 10 dB level id="m3"> form="prefix">> 50 transform-limited id="m4"> 65 fs ).

Advancing ultrafast high-repetition-rate lasers to shortest pulse durations comprising only a few optical cycles while pushing their energy into the multi-millijoule regime opens route toward terawatt-class peak powers at unprecedented average power. We explore this via efficient post-compression of high-energy 1.2 ps pulses from an ytterbium InnoSlab laser 9.6 fs duration using gas-filled multi-pass cells (MPCs) repetition rate 1 kHz. Employing dual-stage compression with second MPC stage supporting close-to-octave-spanning bandwidth enabled by dispersion-matched dielectric mirrors, record factor 125 is reached 70% overall efficiency, delivering 6.7 mJ power ∼0.3 TW. Moreover, we show that can improve temporal contrast multi-picosecond delay least one order magnitude. Our results demonstrate conversion picosecond high-peak-power few-cycle sources, prospectively opening up new parameter regimes for plasma physics, high biomedicine, and attosecond science.

Abstract Microscale charge and energy transfer is an ultrafast process that can determine the photoelectrochemical performance of devices. However, nonlinear nonequilibrium properties hinder our understanding processes; thus, direct imaging strategy has become effective means to uncover processes. Due diffraction limits optical imaging, obtained image insufficient spatial resolution. Therefore, electron beam combined with a pulse laser showing high spatial–temporal resolution popular area research, numerous breakthroughs have been achieved in recent years. In this review, we cover three typical techniques, namely, time‐resolved photoemission microscopy, scanning transmission addition principles characteristics these techniques. Some outstanding results related photon–electron interactions, carrier transport relaxation, electron–lattice coupling, lattice oscillation are also reviewed. summary, multidimensional abilities promote fundamental physics, chemistry, optics, as well guide development advanced semiconductors electronics.

Abstract We demonstrate the generation of sub-two-cycle intense laser pulses based on two-stage hollow-core fiber (HCF) compression in a compact setup (footprint 0.65 m × 2.85 m) using commercial Yb:KGW regenerative amplifier. Spectrally broadened with an output power 7.2 W from second HCF stage are compressed down to 6.6 fs (1.9 cycles at 1030 nm) pair chirp mirrors and wedges efficiency 86%, leading 6.2 W. A pulse-to-pulse energy stability 0.17% is measured for 10 min.
