متن کاملAttosecond electron pulses for 4D diffraction and microscopy.
In this contribution, we consider the advancement of ultrafast electron diffraction and microscopy to cover the attosecond time domain. The concept is centered on the compression of femtosecond electron packets to trains of 15-attosecond pulses by the use of the ponderomotive force in synthesized gratings of optical fields. Such attosecond electron pulses are significantly shorter than those ac...
متن کاملAmplitude and phase spectroscopy of attosecond electron wave packets
Synopsis: The interference of attosecond electron wavepackets, created by high harmonic and femtosecond laser pulses, is measured. The first electron wavepacket is generated by direct ionization of He, and the second one by the two step process of resonant excitation by the attosecond high harmonic pulse and subsequent ionization by the laser pulse. The amplitude and phase retrieved from the in...
متن کاملAttosecond streaking of correlated two-electron transitions in helium.
We present fully ab initio simulations of attosecond streaking for ionization of helium accompanied by shakeup of the second electron. This process represents a prototypical case for strongly correlated electron dynamics on the attosecond time scale. We show that streaking spectroscopy can provide detailed information on the Eisenbud-Wigner-Smith time delay as well as on the infrared-field dres...
