Ultrafast optics provides a promising avenue for new frontiers of physics on timescales beyond the imagination. As the eld progresses, continuous development of new methods is required to provide an ultimate level of control and understanding of the physical processes behind it. These are largely focused around the synthesis and measurement of intense pulses of light on the femtosecond timescale to generate reliable and coherent radiation in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) or soft X-ray regions, for use in probing electron dynamics. This has shown promise in such areas as the development of ultrafast electronic devices or new quantum control techniques. This report describes the foundational work carried out in Huxley 007 at Imperial College London - the Attolab - to develop and construct an in-house versatile 3-channel synthesizer and the diagnostic tools needed to accurately measure these electric elds. The main focus of this project has to becomefamiliarized with the extensive range of techniques and technologies within the lab and to overcome experimental challenges faced in this development, as it progresses into the PhD. In addition, analysis work is presented which provides the basis for an experimental collaboration to be carried out atARTEMIS at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.

超快光学为超越想象的时间尺度上的物理学新前沿提供了一条充满希望的途径。随着该领域的发展，需要不断开发新的方法，以提供最终水平的控制和理解背后的物理过程。这些方法主要集中在飞秒时间尺度上的强光脉冲的合成和测量，以产生可靠和相干的极紫外（XUV）或软X射线区域的辐射，用于探测电子动力学。这在超快电子设备或新量子控制技术的开发等领域显示出了希望。本报告描述了在伦敦帝国理工学院（Attolab）的Huxley 007中进行的基础工作，以开发和构建内部多功能3通道合成器以及精确测量这些电场所需的诊断工具。该项目的主要重点是熟悉实验室内广泛的技术和工艺，并克服该开发在攻读博士学位时面临的实验挑战。此外，分析工作提供了一个实验合作的基础上进行atARTEMIS在卢瑟福阿普尔顿实验室。
