Outline of Final Research Achievements

Nowadays Light is used as indispensable tools for the studies in various scientific fields. On the other hand, the detection of the light wave is still very difficult since the oscillation period of the wave is extremely short, femtosecond time scale. It has been believed that the femtosecond field oscillation of light can only be detected by using attosecond pulses.
In this project, we have succeeded in self-referenced measurement of light waves. It is significant breakthrough that the light wave measurement can be done by the light to be analyzed.
