The interaction of subcycle pulses with quantum systems is considered when the pulse
duration becomes much smaller than the timescales of electron oscillations. We show …

Quantum electronics has significantly evolved over the last decades. Where initially the clear
focus was on light–matter interactions, nowadays approaches based on the electron's wave …

Abstract Sub-10 attosecond pulses (APs) with half-cycle electric fields provide exceptional
options to detect and manipulate electrons in the atomic timescale. However, the availability …

We propose a strikingly simple method to form approximately unipolar half-cycle optical
pulses via reflection of a single-cycle optical pulse from a thin flat metallic or dielectric layer …

Giant half-cycle attosecond pulse generation in the coherent bremsstrahlung emission
regime is proposed for laser pulses with normal incidence on a double-foil target, where the …

A unique electron nanobunching mechanism using a two-color laser pulse interacting with a
microstructured foil is proposed for directly generating ultraintense isolated attosecond …

A coherent-synchrotron-emission regime of forward high-order harmonics generation (HHG)
is proposed for the emission of an isolated unipolar half-cycle attosecond pulse by a three …

Light as a carrier of information and energy plays a fundamental role in both general
relativity and quantum physics, linking these areas that are still not fully compliant with each …

Unipolar and quasi-unipolar half-cycle pulses represent the limit of the pulse shortening in a
given spectral range. So far such pulses have become a subject of active research due to …

Ultrafast or ultrashort pulsed lasers have become integral in numerous industrial
applications due to their high precision, non-thermal interaction with materials, and ability to …
