Nobel Prize Winner (03.10.2023)
● Awarded to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz, and Anne L’Huillier.
● Ultrashort pulses of light to study electron dynamics in matter.
● Research has provided glimpses into the ultrafast world of electrons within
atoms and molecules.
● Applications in Science:
○ Exploring electron behavior within atoms, molecules, and materials.
○ Reveal phenomena like photoelectric effect and quantum tunneling.
○ Aiding in materials design and chemical synthesis → superconductors to
energy harvesting.
How it works?

Pulsing Lasers: lasers that emit ultra-short bursts of light, lasting
attoseconds.
Perfect Timing: Precise synchronization of the ultra-fast light pulse with the
electron's motion is crucial.
Interaction with Electrons: directed at the atoms or molecules under
investigation.
Absorption and Emission: electrons absorb energy from the incoming light.
When they do, the electrons in these atoms or molecules briefly move to
higher energy states.
Snapshot Creation: Returning to their original states,
electrons emit light carrying information about energy levels and position.
Light Recording: Special detectors or cameras record this emitted light,
measuring its intensity and wavelengths.
Data Analysis: Analyzing the collected snapshots helps reconstruct electron
movement on extremely short timescales.
