Date Range
2013-11-19 16:00:00 2013-11-19 17:00:00 Colloquium - Paul Corkum (University of Ottawa) "Attosecond Science and Technology" The talk will introduce extreme nonlinear optics and demonstrate ways that isolated attosecond pulses can be generated and characterized both in space and in time.  Then, using N_2 as an example, I will show how measurement can be generalized from optics to characterizing molecular orbitals and their changes during a photochemical dissociation. http://www.jaslab.ca/corkum_e.html 1080 Physics Research Building - Smith Seminar Room - reception at 3:45 pm in Atrium America/New_York public
