Forschungsförderungsprojekt
The few-cycle and sub-femtosecond sources developed during ADLIS Phase 1 have given us control over radiation-matter interactions on a sub-lasercycle, attosecond time scale. For the first time we can resolve the temporal evolution of electronic excitation and relaxation processes in atoms, molecules, and solid structures. This project is devoted to the theory of dynamics, control, and measurement of the interaction of the new femtosecond and attosecond sources with with few- and multi-electron systems. We closely collaborate with experiments by supporting and guiding the experimental efforts of F. Krausz. The main topics are: A) Theory of pulse control and measurement. (1) Shaping attosecond XUV pulses by control over laser pulse and gas parameters. (2) Theory of time-resolved observation of relaxation and ionization processes. (3) New observables for cross- and autocorrelation XUV measurements. B) Few-electron dynamics in strong fields. (1) Atomic physics in the time domain; time-resolved inner shell spectroscopy. (2) Atoms, molecules, and quantum dots in non-perturbatively strong fields (3) Generation and control of electron microbunches C) Strong field interactions with dense materials. (1) PIC code simulation of laser-solid interaction.
