Photonics Spectra Preview - November 2023

Attosecond Photonics Attosecond photonics allows for deeper insights into material dynamics on ultra-short time-scales and with nanometer-resolution. The field could eventually lead to a considerable number of applications in ultrafast, petahertz-scale electronics, and ultrafast metrology for microscopy or nanoscopy. There is a natural symbiosis between attosecond photonics and modern electronic technology. But to enter the commercial market, high-repetition rate industrial-grade sources must first be developed.
