The ARC Centre of Excellence in Coherent X-ray Science (CXS) is an Australian government initiative that began in July 2005 to explore what can be achieved with X-ray optics; including an understanding of exotic phenomena such as X-ray phase discontinuities. http://www.coecxs.org/joomla/index.php/research-and-projects/attosecond-science-program.feed 2014-08-27T00:51:49Z Joomla! 1.5 - Open Source Content Management 2011-03-01T12:00:00Z 2011-03-01T12:00:00Z http://www.coecxs.org/joomla/index.php/research-and-projects.html Administrator nicoleka@unimelb.edu.au

The new and rapidly expanding field of attosecond science is based on recent revolutionary developments in ultrafast optics that resulted in the award of the Nobel Prize in 2005. It is now possible to generate high-energy infrared light pulses consisting of only a few cycles of the electric field and to control the optical electric fi eld waveform within the light pulses. Such optical pulses have been used to generate isolated soft X-ray bursts with durations below 100 attosecond (1 as = 10-18 s). They can also provide information on atomic and molecular dynamics on the attosecond timescale and have been used to map the electronic structure of molecules. The Australian Attosecond Science Facility (AASF) is the unique tool in Australia for attosecond science investigations. The facility is directed by A/Prof Kielpinski‚ leader of the CXS Attosecond Science Program as of January 2010. The heart of the facility is a laser source providing 6 fs‚ 300 μJ‚ phase-stabilized laser pulses‚ commissioned in 2007 through an ARC LIEF grant.</p>
