Outline
1
Attosecond light pulses for observing electron correlations in atoms
  • Toru Morishita
  • Univ. of Electro-Communications
  • Chofu, Tokyo


2
Improvements in ultra short pulse generation
3
Attosecond in Atoms/Molecules
  • Rotation of molecules: pico (10-12) sec
  • Vibration of molecules: femto (10-15) sec
  • Electron motion in atoms/molecules
    • Classical period of electron in H atom
      • 2π* 1 au = 150 asec
    • Real time analysis
    • Control/manipulate
4
Atomic photography
