Attosecond Technology

Light sources, metrology, applications

Welcome to the website for the RCUK funded Attosecond Technology project. The project aims to generate, diagnose and use isolated attosecond duration light pulses in new types of experiments to probe atomic and molecular systems on the attosecond timescale - with an emphasis on the development of the technology required to achieve these goals.

This website is intended to provide information about the aims and progress of the various parts of the project.
