Research Abstract

We have developed theoretical and computational methods for high resolution ultrafast imaging of atoms and molecules using intense ultrashort infrared laser pulses. Spatial resolution of the atomic scale (Angstroms) and temporal resolution of the order of the electron orbital period in molecules (femto to atto seconds) can be achieved using rescattering electrons produced from molecules exposed to intense laser pulses open up a new route to the time-resolved study of electron dynamics in matter transition and obtain deeper understanding of the laser-matter interaction.
