ULF-FORTH Attosecond Science
Attosecond Science and Technolgy Laboratory:
The activity focuses on the generation, characterization and applications of intense Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) radiation emitted in the form of pulses of duration less than 1fs (attosecond pulses). It targets the development, upgrades and running of a state of the art, table top, attosecond facility dedicated to the investigation of ultrafast dynamics in all states of matter, as well as of non-linear and strong field phenomena induced solely by the EUV radiation.
