Synopsis
Attosecond pulses are produced by nonlinear-optical high-harmonic generation of focused few-cycle phase-stabilized femtosecond laser light in a rare gas target. These pulses are used to illuminate the quantum dynamics and correlated motion of electrons in various systems, including atoms, molecules, clusters and nanoparticles.
