Intense ultra-short pulses from femtosecond to attosecond
Intense ultra-short pulses have sophisticated generation processes, complex metrology schemes and their applications are ubiquitous, spanning atomic-molecular physics, chemistry, material science, biophysics and the generation of new light and particle sources. This Collection gathers research Articles focused on the generation and metrology of intense ultra-short pulses ranging from femtosecond to attosecond, including submissions presenting applications of ultra-short pulses.
If you are interested in submitting a manuscript in this area, take a look at our 'Ultrafast optics' Collection that has recently opened for submissions.
