这是第二版的这本先进的教科书写的科学家谁需要进一步培训飞秒科学。第一版出版四年后，飞秒科学已经克服了新的挑战，新的应用领域已经成熟。必须考虑到这些新的发展。在此期间，支持重要科学活动的两个主要主题合并在一起：阿秒脉冲现在在X-UV光谱域中产生，通过定制飞秒脉冲的形状，化学事件的相干控制现在是可能的。为了更新这本先进的教科书，有必要介绍这些领域;两个新的章节是在这第二版：“相干控制原子，分子和固体”（第二章）。11)阿秒脉冲（Attosecond Pulses）12)在第一版的十个原始章节中引入了一些变化，附录和新的参考文献，以考虑新的发展并更新这本先进的教科书，这是1991年开始的科学冒险的结果。当时，法国教育部决定，鉴于超短激光脉冲对国家科学界的重要性日益增加，应在法国建立一个飞秒中心，致力于对使用飞秒脉冲作为研究工具的科学家进行进一步教育，这些科学家不是激光专家，甚至不是光学专家。经过不同机构的建议，波尔多第一大学和我们的实验室最终被选中，以确保这个新中心的成功。由于参加培训的科学家分布在法国各地，因此决定将培训课程集中在至少5天的短期内。在如此短的时间内为那些不一定具有所需科学背景，在某些情况下仅作为这些脉冲工具的用户参与的科学家提供飞秒脉冲科学的良好基础，这无疑是一项挑战。首先，我们联系了法国飞秒社区的知名专家;我们非常感谢他们表现出的热情，并立即开始了这个迷人的项目。
This is the second edition of this advanced textbook written for scientists who require further training in femtosecond science. Four years after publication of the first edition, femtosecond science has overcome new challenges and new application fields have become mature. It is necessary to take into account these new developments. Two main topics merged during this period that support important scientific activities: attosecond pulses are now generated in the X-UV spectral domain, and coherent control of chemical events is now possible by tailoring the shape of femtosecond pulses. To update this advanced textbook, it was necessary to introduce these fields; two new chapters are in this second edition:“Coherent Control in Atoms, Molecules, and Solids”(Chap. 11) and “Attosecond Pulses”(Chap. 12) with well-documented references.Some changes, addenda, and new references are introduced in the first edition’s ten original chapters to take into account new developments and update this advanced textbook which is the result of a scientific adventure that started in 1991. At that time, the French Ministry of Education decided that, in view of the growing importance of ultrashort laser pulses for the national scientific community, a Femtosecond Centre should be created in France and devoted to the further education of scientists who use femtosecond pulses as a research tool and who are not specialists in lasers or even in optics. After proposals from different institutions, Université Bordeaux I and our laboratory were finally selected to ensure the success of this new centre. Since the scientists involved were located throughout France, it was decided that the training courses should be concentrated into a short period of at least 5 days. It is certainly a challenge to give a good grounding in the science of femtosecond pulses in such a short period to scientists who do not necessarily have the required scientific background and are in some cases involved only as users of these pulses as a tool. To start, we contacted well-known specialists from the French femtosecond community; we are very thankful that they showed enthusiasm and immediately started work on this fascinating project.
