Abstract
Lightwave-field-induced ultrafast electric dipole oscillation is promising for realizing petahertz (1015 Hz: PHz) signal processing in the future. In building the ultrahigh-clock-rate logic operation system, one of the major challenges will be petahertz electron manipulation accompanied with multiple frequencies. Here we study multi-petahertz interference with electronic dipole oscillations in alumina with chromium dopant (Cr:Al2O3). An intense near-infrared lightwave-field induces multiple electric inter-band polarizations, which are characterized by Fourier transform extreme ultraviolet attosecond spectroscopy. The interference results from the superposition state of periodic dipole oscillations of 667 to 383 attosecond (frequency of 1.5 to 2.6 PHz) measured by direct time-dependent spectroscopy and consists of various modulations on attosecond time scale through individual electron dephasing times of the Cr donor-like and Al2O3 conduction band states. The results indicate the possible manipulation of petahertz interference signal with multiple dipole oscillations using material band engineering and such a control will contribute to the study of ultrahigh-speed signal operation.

Lightwave-field-induced ultrafast electric dipole oscillation is promising for realizing petahertz (1015 Hz: PHz) signal processing in the future
Lightwave-field control opens up a new opportunity to speed up the frequency into the petahertz (1015 Hz: PHz) regime because the ultrafast electric dipole variation with inter-band polarization activates an electronic device with instantaneous optical switching from an insulator to conductor or vice versa[3]
Since the measured dynamics already has high-order nonlinear processes (4– 7ħω photon energies), the ponderomotive energy[26] Up might be a useful parameter for qualitatively discussing the intra-band motion because it has been well used in terms of high-order harmonic generation (HHG) from solid-state material[27,28,29,30]
Summary
Lightwave-field-induced ultrafast electric dipole oscillation is promising for realizing petahertz (1015 Hz: PHz) signal processing in the future. An intense near-infrared lightwave-field induces multiple electric inter-band polarizations, which are characterized by Fourier transform extreme ultraviolet attosecond spectroscopy. High-speed signal processing is performed by electronic devices using semiconductor-based field-effect transistors driven by radio-frequency (RF) electric fields[1]. Lightwave-field control opens up a new opportunity to speed up the frequency into the petahertz (1015 Hz: PHz) regime because the ultrafast electric dipole variation with inter-band polarization activates an electronic device with instantaneous optical switching from an insulator to conductor or vice versa[3]. We study a petahertz interference constructed with near-infrared (NIR) lightwave-field-induced multiple electronic dipole oscillations in alumina with chromium dopant (Cr:Al2O3) and reveal by Fourier transform extreme ultraviolet attosecond spectroscopy (FTXUV) combined with an IAP
