… Unequal temporal spacing of the attosecond pulse train ? sdf superposition of attosecond pulses emitted at times tk with assumed identical shape spectrum is given by the absolute square of the Fourier transform plasma surface motion can be approximated by a simple parabola, which corresponds to a linear chirp with emission times

… Unequal temporal spacing of the attosecond pulse train

… Unequal temporal spacing of the attosecond pulse train… … describes the spectral modulations indirect evidence of attosecond time structure of relativistic surface harmonics !!! And just as a outlook …

… according to the same Pic simulations ... … they are very short (100as)
