"The book is written in a way to be accessible to anyone having knowledge of lasers without requiring any in-depth specialisation. … a clear, up-to-date and self-contained presentation of the phenomena involved in the production and use of as pulses. It is recommended to postgraduate students and researchers. It is also a basic source of information for those who wish to [get] insight into this advanced field as well as for people working in the production of advanced systems in industry."—Mario Bertolotti, Contemporary Physics, 2013"This is an excellent textbook on attosecond optics … . At the attosecond time scale, optics could reveal new phenomena in solid state physics, biology and chemistry. This book could help in this quest, since it is written clearly and in a very comprehensive manner. … This book is an invaluable source of knowledge for students or scientists who want to learn about this new domain of optics."—Daniela Dragoman, Optics & Photonics News, February 2012"Dr. Chang's book is truly amazing: One of the leading researchers of the field finds the time to write a book that covers the most important aspects of attosecond technology and physics. The book starts with a detailed presentation of the generation of attosecond pulses, carries on with the fundamentals of strong-field and attosecond laser physics, and concludes with applications. Having this book available at this early stage of attosecond science is immensely helpful — my students love the book, too."—Professor Gerhard G. Paulus, Texas A&M University and Max Planck Institute of Optics and Quantum Electronics"An extremely useful textbook … . This book provides not only a basic introduction to the concepts and techniques of attosecond pulse generation, characterization and application, but also a broad overview of the current state-of-the-art including some of the latest advances. Definitely a must-have in any ultrafast optics lab!"—Dr. Pascal Salières, Group Leader, CEA-Saclay
