An Electrostatic Catastrophe Machine as an Attosecond Pulse Generator ()
ABSTRACT
The
generation of an attosecond pulse in the ultraviolet range is described in the
terms of the catastrophe theory. A simple criterion of tunneling is proposed.
The criterion allows constructing the quasiclassical model of the generator of
attosecond laser pulses based on the interaction of an electric field of extremely
powerful femtosecond
pulse with the valence electron in the potential well of the gas atom.
