The prospects for coherent sources at very
short wavelengths - even possibly in the hard-x-ray
region of the spectrum - have brightened with the ability
to manipulate electron dynamics on attosecond time scales.

The attosecond recollision of an
electron plucked from a molecule during
the process of high harmonic generation can be
used as a very sensitive probe of intramolecular dynamics.

Our group developed the first cryogenically-cooled Ti:sapphire
amplifier designs. Cryo-cooling of the crystal extends high-power
ultrafast pulses to very high repetition rates, for application
experiments in imaging and materials and chemical spectroscopy.
