Abstract

The new Nobel Prize in Physics honors the pioneers of attophysics, Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier. Their work on the experimental and theoretical study of the nonlinear interaction of high-power laser radiation with gas atoms made it possible to advance into the area of much shorter time intervals compared to previous femtosecond ones, to attosecond intervals. The generation of pulses of electromagnetic radiation on this time scale provides possibility to study the dynamics of processes occurring in atoms, molecules, and solids with electrons — for example, to monitor the dynamics of photoionization.
