摘要
We demonstrate the control of electron tunneling in the high-order harmonic generation process and subsequent positive-energy wavepacket propagation until recollision with the unprecedented precision of about 10 attoseconds. This is accomplished with waveforms synthesized from a few-cycle near-infrared pulse and its second harmonic. The presented attosecond control of few-cycle-driven high harmonics permits the generation of tunable isolated attosecond pulses, opening the prospects for a new class of attosecond pump-probe experiments.
