31. Hermann Staudinger Lecture – Anne L’Huillier
Attosecond Light Pulses for Studying Electron Dynamics
When an intense laser interacts with a gas of atoms, high-order harmonics are generated. In the time domain, this radiation forms a train of extremely short light pulses with duration of the order of 100 attoseconds. Attosecond pulses allow the study of the dynamics of electrons in atoms and molecules using pump-probe techniques. This presentation will highlight some of the key steps in the field of attosecond science, starting with the generation of high-order harmonics and continuing with the measurement of attosecond pulses. Some applications of attosecond pulses will be presented.

About the Lecture Series
The Hermann Staudinger Lectures, initiated by the FRIAS School of Soft Matter Research in 2008, bring international Nobel laureates to Freiburg to share their insights, offering a glimpse into their groundbreaking research and career paths. The events are among the highlights of the academic year. After the lecture, participants are invited to come together for drinks, snacks, and networking at FRIAS, providing an opportunity to exchange ideas in an informal setting.
