Wayne State University Dissertations

Electronic motions which happen in 10 to 100 of attoseconds are the heart of all processes in nature. Therefore monitoring and extracting details in this fundamental level will provide new prospect to the areas as information technology, basic energy science, medicine and life sciences. The challenge being, develop a tool to reach such a fast time scale for real time observation in atomic level. In this thesis work we have address this matter using two interesting approaches related to the laser matter interaction: strong field ionization and nonlinear attosecond spectroscopy. The first part is based on the studies related to …
