Attosecond electron dynamics in strong laser fields
Speaker:Stefanie Gräfe (TU Wien)
Abstract:In this talk, the physics of atoms and molecules in strong laser fields is introduced. An overview about different phenomena occuring in strong laser fields, such as strong-field ionization of the atom or molecule and subsequent rescattering of an liberated electron on the ionic core are presented. Taking a recent experiment as an example, I will show how an intense infrared laser field with a duration of only a few optical cycles allows one to actively control and steer the electronic dynamics in molecules. Further, methods how to measure the success of such a control experiment will be presented.
