The present status and development of strong-field nano-optics, an emerging field of
nonlinear optics, is discussed. A nonperturbative regime of light-matter interactions is …

The development of femtosecond lasers brought entirely new possibilities into the practice of
timeresolved spectroscopy, for both UV-vis and IR-Raman spectroscopies. In addition, it has …

Attosecond science is based on steering electrons with the electric field of well controlled
femtosecond laser pulses. It has led to the generation of extreme-ultraviolet pulses with a …

The high peak electric fields provided by single-cycle light pulses can be harnessed to
manipulate and control charge motion in solid-state systems, resulting in electron emission …

The strong fields associated with few-cycle pulses can drive highly nonlinear phenomena,
allowing the direct control of electrons in condensed matter systems. In this context, by …

This book's coverage builds from basic underlying theory to more complex ideas related to
attosecond optics. It shows how the generation of attosecond optical pulses requires …

Nonlinear photoelectron emission from metallic nanotips is explored in the strong-field
regime. The passage between the multiphoton and the optical field emission regimes is …

Following the birth of the laser in 1960, the field of" nonlinear optics" rapidly emerged.
Today, laser intensities and pulse durations are readily available, for which the concepts …

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 …

In recent years the use of high-order harmonic radiation to create and control events on
attosecond timescales has grown at a phenomenal rate. With the use of carrier-envelope …
