The key finding is the distinctly different peak-intensity dependence of the light-matter energy transfer dynamics on the one hand, and the observed transient optical and electronic modifications on the other. As the induced electron dynamics evolve on sub-femtosecond timescales, real-time spectroscopy requires attosecond temporal resolution. This allows a range of parameters to be identified where the optical properties of the samples exposed to ultrashort light fields suffer dramatic changes allowing signal metrology while real absorption leading to dissipation is essentially absent. These findings indicate the feasibility of efficient optical switching at frequencies several orders of magnitude faster than current state-of-the-art electronics and thus have far-reaching technological consequences.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053LasersPhotonicsStatistical physicsSolid state physicsOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Deviceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030Applications of Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33020Solid State Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25013Lasers.Photonics.Statistical physics.Solid state physics.Optics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices.Applications of Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos Theory.Solid State Physics.537.24Sommer Annkatrin Madlenauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut814510MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254616803321Ultrafast Strong Field Dynamics in Dielectrics1819265UNINA
