Physics of attosecond pulses produced via high harmonic generation

Varju, Katalin ; Johnsson, Per LU orcid ; Mauritsson, Johan LU orcid ; L'Huillier, Anne and Lopez-Martens, Rodrigo (2009) In American Journal of Physics 77(5). p.389-395
Abstract
The physics of extreme ultraviolet attosecond pulse trains generated during the interaction between an intense laser pulse and a gas medium is presented, including a simple model based on the solution of the classical equations of motion of an electron in an oscillating laser field. The reconstruction of attosecond beating by the interference of a two-photon transition is described and used to determine the pulse duration of the emitted attosecond pulses. This application is the basis of a laboratory practical for a graduate atomic physics course.
