1. Quantum Optical Description of High-order Harmonic Generation
University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : High-order Harmonic Generation (HHG) is a highly non-linear process in which an atom interacts with a strong laser field. The laser field lowers the atomic potential barrier allowing bound electrons to escape into the continuum through tunnel ionization, propagate, and, with some probability, recombine with the parent ion.

2. Generation of attosecond X-ray pulses in free-electron lasers using electron energy modulation and undulator tapering
University essay from Uppsala universitet/FREIAAbstract : Free-electron lasers (FELs) are among the world's most intense artificial artificial sources of coherent light and are tunable to various wavelengths, including the X-ray spectrum. X-ray FELs (XFELs) are extremely useful for diffraction experiments to study molecules, materials, and quantum systems. READ MORE

3. Quantum state tomography of attosecond electron wavepackets
University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : In this master thesis, a broad theoretical description is done of a novel quantum state tomography protocol called KRAKEN. This protocol is meant for the determination of the density matrix of an electronic state created by absorption of XUV radiation in the vicinity of a Fano resonance. At first, a description of the KRAKEN protocol is provided. READ MORE

4. Measuring the Pulse Duration and the Time-Dependent Polarisation State of Ultrashort Laser Pulses with the D-Scan Technique
University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/AtomfysikAbstract : Ultrashort laser pulses with time-dependent polarisation states have many applications, such as the generation of isolated attosecond pulses and the study of the optical chirality of molecules. In this project the polarisation gate, built from two quarter-wave plates of different orders, is thoroughly characterised in experiment and simulation. READ MORE

5. Pulsed Laser Beam Quality Assessment via Phase Retrieval
University essay from Lunds universitet/AtomfysikAbstract : In the search for a better understanding of the fundamental nature of the atom, the development of femtosecond pulsed laser sources has opened up for many applications, in particular in time-resolved physics. For many of those, like the generation of attosecond pulses through high-order harmonic generation, high intensity is needed and the quality of the beam is a critical factor. READ MORE
