Welcome

The Auburn Source of Attosecond Pulses (ASAP) is a state-of-the-art laboratory with unique experimental capabilities for research on attosecond science and technology. Currently, our principal areas of research include:

• the development of novel sources of attosecond pulse of light,
• the development of innovative methods to characterize the temporal profile of such pulses,
• the study of ultrafast dynamical processes in matter (atoms, molecules, and solid-state systems) down to the attosecond timescale,

Our experimental capabilities, which includes a panel of light sources with attosecond, femtosecond, and nanosecond durations, as well as state-of-the-art spectroscopic techniques such that COLTRIMS or ARPES are also used for side research activities on topics as diverse as:

• semiconductor technology,
• biophysics
