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. 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

3. Semi-Classical Calculations of Multiple Trajectories in High-Harmonic Generation
University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the High-Harmonic Generation (HHG) process by simulating electron trajectories, and their resulting Extreme Ultra Violet (XUV) output. The HHG process is one in which a focused beam of infrared (IR) light can rival (in terms of intensity) the potentials of atoms, which makes tunnelling likely -- this sets off a chain of events resulting in an XUV pulse.

4. Towards the control of photo-ionization with electron wave-packet interferences
University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : In this work the photoelectric effect is explored through simulations of the phase shift that an IR-field can induce into an electron wave packet and the photoelectron distribution over frequency components that is produced in the photoionization of an atom with a attosecond pulses made of XUV photons. The IR-field is sent along two attosecond pulses made of XUV photons towards a 3D momentum spectrometer were there is a gas that can be photoionized and the photoelectrons can be measured. READ MORE

5. Generation and Characterization of Intense Attosecond Pulses
University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : Research on ultrafast dynamics in atoms and molecules requires short pulses. In order to resolve processes taking place on a femtosecond timescale sufficiently, these pulses require a duration on the attosecond time scale. READ MORE
