Research activities:
RK works on the development of ultrashort coherent light pulses from the IR (OPA techniques) to
VIS (CPA techniques) , UV (nonlinear optics), XUV (high-order harmonic generation) to x-rays
(FEL) und uses them for time resolved spectroscopic applications. The processes under scrutiny are
ultrafast electronic processes on the femtosecond and attosecond timescale in atoms, molecules and
solids. The experimental tools are mainly pump/probe techniques in various constellations (2-color)
measured with spectroscopic tools (IR-spectroscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy).
Main scientific achievements:
• First generation and measurement of a single attosecond pulse (Nobel Prize to F. Krausz 2023)
• Steering the atomic-scale motion of electrons with light fields
• First real-time observation of an atomic inner-shell decay
• Development of a measurement system capable of measuring intervals as short as 75 attoseconds
• First direct measurement (sampling) of the electric field of visible light
• First absolute, time-resolved measurement of attosecond electron transport in a solid
• Enantiospecific enhancement by few-cycle circularly polarized pulses
