Interaction between ultrafast intense laser fields and atoms or molecules has led to many new physical phenomena, such as multiphoton ionization, above-threshold ionization, nonsequential double ionization, high harmonic generation, attosecond pulse generation, coherent X-ray generation, etc. These phenomena have been of interest from the perspectives of both fundamental physics and potential applications. In addition, the generation of the attosecond pulse opens a new area of the microscope world: attosecond science. Because of the short width and the high frequency, the attosecond pulse could probe the electronic dynamics and even control the electron, which is very beneficial for understanding the microscope world. Attosecond science represents a new frontier in atomic, molecular, and condensed matter physics, enabling one to probe the ultrafast dynamics associated with electronic dynamics in a wide range of systems. Future advances in attosecond science will involve a combination of technological development and new applications.
With the fast development of novel laser techniques, the atomic-scale resolution of the electron motion in matter can be achieved. Different from atoms, the molecule has more degrees of freedom and shows more complex effects in strong laser fields. To probe and control the electron motion within molecules is more difficult than atoms. Some fundamental processes, such as tunneling, acceleration and rescattering, take place in gas-phase atoms, molecules and even solids. Exploring the ultrafast dynamics in those processes requires the development of varied novel laser techniques and theoretical analysis approaches and numerical methods.
Specific themes addressed by contributors should cover frontier issues in strong-field physics and attosecond science.
• Manuscripts with topics of photonics, nonlinear optics and light-induced processes in atomic-scale systems are desired.
• Frontier topic includes atomic and molecular ultrafast dynamics in strong field, such as multiphoton ionization, above-threshold ionization, tunneling Ionization, nonsequential double ionization, high harmonic generation, attosecond pulse generation, etc.
• Investigations of ultrafast phenomena or technologies in attosecond science, such as attoclock technology, attosecond photoelectron interferometry, photoelectron holography by attosecond streaking, Wigner time delay, etc., are also welcome.
