High order harmonic generation-based attosecond light sources and applications to quantum phenomena by E. Constant, S. Nandi, C. Picot, E. Prost, S. Palakkal, F. Lépine, V. Loriot

“…Attosecond science and technology have emerged as a promising path for improving our understanding of light–matter interaction. High harmonic generation based light sources combine high photon energy, broad spectrum, and short duration with a relatively compact implementation, which makes them flexible tools to study and modify physical and chemical properties of matter by acting directly on electronic degrees of freedom. …”
