Dynamic response of solids after 1-fs-scale charge injection

Drude–Lorentz model describes optical properties of solids and is fundamental for the condensed matter physics. We measure the formation of this response in photo-excited silicon …

Petahertz-scale nonlinear photoconductive sampling in air

The electric field waveform of a light field can be used to unlock a detailed recording of its interaction with matter, but accessing it requires a measurement with subfemtosecond …
