During multi-photon ionization of an atom it is well understood how the involved photons transfer their energy to the ion and the photoelectron. However, the transfer of the photon linear momentum is still not fully understood. Here, we…

Attosecond interferometry in a two-color field is central to attosecond metrology and spectroscopy. In this technique, a photoelectron wave packet is released when a single photon from an extreme ultraviolet comb is absorbed. The wave…
