Abstract The motion of electrons in the microcosm occurs on a time scale set by atomic unit time—24 attoseconds. Attosecond pulses at photon energies corresponding to fundamental absorption edges matter, which lie soft X-ray regime above 200 eV, permit probing electronic excitation, chemical state, and structure. Here we demonstrate pulse duration 53 as single streaking reaching carbon K-absorption edge (284 eV) utilizing intense two-cycle driving near 1.8-μm center wavelength. Such studies...

Separating the infrared driving laser from extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses after high-order harmonic generation has been a long-standing difficulty. In this Letter, we propose and demonstrate that can be blocked by simply installing microchannel plate (MCP) into beam line. addition to its high damage threshold, MCP filter also transmits photons over entire XUV region. This paves way for attosecond pulse with unprecedented bandwidth.
