Two papers by Zenghu Chang featured in Nature Photonics

Nature Photonics published a focus issue on Attosecond Photonics. Professor Zenghu Chang is co-author on the commentary paper and he and members of his group are authors on a review paper.

Even for simple systems, the interpretations of new attosecond measurements are complicated and provide only a glimpse of their potential. Nonetheless, the lasting impact will be the revelation of how short-time dynamics can determine the electronic properties of more complex systems.

The generation, characterization and applications of broadband isolated attosecond pulses

Michael Chini, Kun Zhao & Zenghu Chang

This review discusses significant recent advances in the generation, characterization and application of ultrabroadband isolated attosecond pulses with a spectral bandwidth comparable to the central frequency, which can in principle be compressed to a single optical cycle.
