  • Abstract
    Tunnel emission by and subsequent acceleration of electrons from rare gas atoms in high laser fields has emerged as a powerful process to generate extremely short bursts of electromagnetic radiation in the XUV spectral range. With proper choice of parameters (most importantly, laser driver pulses of only few cycles duration), single XUV-pulses of several 100 attosecond duration can be produced.
