Advancing Attosecond Solid State Physics Towards Petahertz Electronics
Abstract
Over the last 15 years, attosecond physics has offered the possibility of observing the action dynamics of electronic wave packets in atoms and molecules. In this proposal, the PI and team propose to push attosecond science to investigate coherent electronics in solids on the sub-femtosecond-to-few-femtosecond time scale with attosecond temporal resolution. The proposed research will allow to access nonlinear effects enabled by few cycle laser fields ultimately hinting towards optoelectronic modulation at multi-terahertz to petahertz frequencies. The proposal aims at developing attosecond technology towards reaching petahertz electronics, using attosecond light pulses and intense few-femtosecond near-infrared laser pulses.
