Description
An introductory textbook on attosecond and strong field physics, covering fundamental theory and modeling techniques, as well as future opportunities and challenges.
About the Author
C. D. Lin is a University Distinguished Professor at Kansas State University. His group has made important contributions to the field of attosecond science including the development of the molecular tunnelling Ionization model (MO-ADK theory) and the quantitative rescattering (QRS) model. Anh-Thu Le is a Research Professor at Kansas State University. He has over twenty years' research experience in atomic, molecular and optical physics and together with Dr C. D. Lin he developed the quantitative rescattering theory (QRS) for high-order harmonic generation. Cheng Jin is a Professor at Nanjing University of Science and Technology, China. His research interests include optimization of the generation of isolated attosecond pulses by synthesis of multicolor laser waveforms in the gas medium. Hui Wei is a postdoctoral fellow at Kansas State University. His research interests include characterization and applications of attosecond pulses to molecules and solids.
Reviews
'This is the book we were waiting for...Definitely a must-have!' Jens Biegert, The Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO)
'... a very accessible introduction to the emerging fields of attosecond science and strong field laser physics ... This book will be a valuable resource for both new students and experienced researchers in the field.' Mark Vrakking, Max Born Institute, Berlin
'The first reference in the attosecond and strong field community.' Katsumi Midorikawa, Director, RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics
'This is a textbook dedicated to graduate students who wish to understand strong laser fields and attosecond physics. The book is very clearly written and beautifully illustrated, the majority of figures being in color. Exercises and references are found at the end of all chapters ... Since attosecond pulses are a booming area of research, with many applications, this book is a must for university libraries and can be read easily by students and experts in the field.
