Description
The interaction of atoms with intense laser radiation leads to the
generation of high-order harmonics of the laser field, corresponding in the
time domain, to light pulses with attosecond duration. After a first decade
where attosecond pulses were measured and optimized, we begin to perform
experiments where these pulses allow us to explore new physics. We will
describe some of these applications, and in particular recent results
concerning single and double photoionization dynamics.
