Zusammenfassung

There has been tremendous success in studying the response of matter on the femtosecond timescale (10e-15 s), and the exploration on the attosecond timescale (10e-18 s) holds equally great opportunities. Femtosecond dynamics is mediated by the nuclei of the atoms and molecules in a medium, whereas the electronic response evolves more rapidly within attoseconds. Unfortunately, the exploration on the attosecond timescale is significantly more difficult. Time can be measured with an astonishing relative precision (up to 10e-18). But direct time domain measurements, i.e. when does a light ...
