We describe a method of analysis which allows for reconstructing the nonlinear disturbance of a high Q harmonic oscillator. When the oscillator is driven with two or more frequencies, the nonlinearity causes intermodulation of the drives,…

Time resolution is one of the most severe limitations of scanning probe microscopies (SPMs), since the typical image acquisition times are in the order of several seconds or even few minutes. As a consequence, the characterization of…

Photoelectron interferometry with femto- and atto-second light pulses is a powerful probe of the fast electron wavepacket dynamics, albeit it has practical limitations on the energy resolution. We show that one can simultaneously obtain…

Attosecond time-resolution experiments using noncollinear interferometers require precise and active control of the optical delay to prevent instabilities - including both slow drifts and rapid vibrations - that can obscure the time…
