Fig.1 The Generation of Attosecond Pulses

Caption

The image captures the generation of attosecond pulses, in which ultrashort (few-cycle) laser pulses interact with a neon gas jet. This interaction initiates high-harmonic generation, yielding the shortest attosecond soft X-ray pulse ever produced.
