Complete temporal reconstruction of attosecond high-harmonic pulse trains

Abstract

The method of complete reconstruction of attosecond bursts has been demonstrated for attosecond high-harmonic pulse trains. The retrieved harmonic field provided detailed information about the envelope and the individual attosecond pulses contained in the attosecond pulse train. The time-frequency analysis revealed complicated spectral chirp structures and the contribution of different quantum paths to attosecond pulse formation. © IOP Publishing Ltd and Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft.
