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 …

For graphene interacting with a few-fs intense optical pulse, we predict unique and rich
behavior dramatically different from three-dimensional solids. Quantum electron dynamics is …

Near-fields of non-resonantly laser-excited nanostructures enable strong localization of
ultrashort light fields and have opened novel routes to fundamentally modify and control …

Intriguing properties of photoemission from free, unsupported particles and droplets were
predicted nearly 50 years ago, though experiments were a technical challenge. The last few …

A precise, real-time, single-shot carrier–envelope phase (CEP) tagging technique for few-
cycle pulses was developed and combined with cold-target recoil-ion momentum …

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 …

A novel design for a velocity-map imaging (VMI) spectrometer with high resolution over a
wide energy range surpassing a standard VMI design is reported. The main difference to a …

Strong laser fields can be used to trigger an ultrafast molecular response that involves
electronic excitation and ionization dynamics. Here, we report on the experimental control of …

Recent progress of the coherent light synthesis technology has brought the generation of
single-cycle pulses within our reach. To exploit the full potential of such a single-cycle pulse …
