XUV Physics


Group leader: Prof.dr. Marc Vrakking

Our group studies how intense, shaped, femtosecond laser pulses can be
used to control the properties of atoms, molecules and clusters. Our main
focus is on time-resolved electron dynamics in atomic and molecular physics
using recently developed attosecond laser pulses based on highharmonic
generation.

AMOLF: Photoelectron image for two-color two-photon ionization of Ar involving a high harmonics beam and the near-IR fundamental of our laser system.
Photoelectron image for two-color two-photon ionization of Ar involving a high harmonics beam and the near-IR fundamental of our laser system. The pictures on the right and the left correspond to a constructive and destructive interference in the photoionization signal, and allow us to determine the relative phase of a comb of harmonics and hence the attosecond time structure in the pulse.
