Research Abstract

For generating a single attosecond pulse, we have proposed and demonstrated two-color multicycle laser field synthesis and also developed 5fs-Terawatt class Ti:sapphire laser system. In parallel with those works on the light sources, we have explore the use of attosecond pulse train
