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 …

Intense ultrashort light pulses comprising merely a few wave cycles became routinely
available by the turn of the millennium. The technologies underlying their production and …

We present the development of the first ultrafast transmission electron microscope (UTEM)
driven by localized photoemission from a field emitter cathode. We describe the …

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

Field emission of electrons underlies great advances in science and technology, ranging
from signal processing at ever higher frequencies to imaging of the atomic-scale structure of …

The use of infrared lasers to power optical-scale lithographically fabricated particle
accelerators is a developing area of research that has garnered increasing interest in recent …

One of the great dream experiments in Science is to directly observe atomic motions as they
occur. Femtosecond electron diffraction provided the first'light'of sufficient intensity to …

Strong-field physics, an extreme limit of light–matter interaction,,, is expanding into the realm
of surfaces, and nanostructures,,,,, from its origin in atomic and molecular science,,,. The …

In this paper, the promising variant of the Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)
technique, namely Nanoparticle-Enhanced LIBS (NELIBS) is described. The underlying …

The generation of sub‐optical‐cycle, carrier–envelope phase‐stable light pulses is one of
the frontiers of ultrafast optics. The two key ingredients for sub‐cycle pulse generation are …
