Attosecond science at LOA: from atoms to plasma

Seminars of the Institut de Physique de Nice,

Abstract:
The 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics honoured experiments capable of producing extremely short flashes of light, of the order of a billionth of a billionth of a second. These attosecond flahes are now routinely used in laboratories around the world to resolve ultrafast electron motion in matter. The first ever time measurement of attosecond pulses by Agostini and colleagues was made possible at the Laboratoire d’Optique Appliquée (LOA) because of its pioneering developments in ultrahigh-intensity laser technology. After introducing the different building blocks that make attosecond science possible today, I will show LOA’s latest efforts to develop a new generation of attosecond laser drivers based onextreme interactions.
