Attosecond science is based on electron dynamics driven by a strong optical electric field
and has evolved beyond its original scope in gas-phase atomic and molecular physics to …

Recently two emerging areas of research, attosecond and nanoscale physics, have started
to come together. Attosecond physics deals with phenomena occurring when ultrashort laser …

When intense laser fields interact with nanoscale targets, strong-field physics meets
plasmonic near-field enhancement and subwavelength localization of light. Photoemission …

A review is presented of the rescattering plateau in laser-induced above-threshold ionization
and its various features as they were discovered over time. Several theoretical explanations …

The carrier-envelope phase (CEP) is an important property of few-cycle laser pulses,
allowing for light field control of electronic processes during laser-matter interactions. Thus …

Ultrafast, high-intensity light-matter interactions lead to optical-field-driven photocurrents
with an attosecond-level temporal response. These photocurrents can be used to detect the …

Proton migration is a ubiquitous process in chemical reactions related to biology,
combustion, and catalysis. Thus, the ability to manipulate the movement of nuclei with …

We review recent progress in the control over chemical reactions by employing tailored
electric field waveforms of intense laser pulses. The sub-cycle tailoring of such waveforms …

Subfemtosecond control of the breaking and making of chemical bonds in polyatomic
molecules is poised to open new pathways for the laser-driven synthesis of chemical …

Measurements and calculations of the absolute carrier-envelope-phase (CEP) effects in
the<? format?> photodissociation of the simplest molecule, H 2+, with a 4.5-fs Ti: sapphire …
