Pump-Probe Delay Controlled by Laser-dressed Ionization with Isolated Attosecond Pulses

In a recent work [1], we demonstrated how laser-dressed ionization can be harnessed to control with attosecond accuracy the time delay between an extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) attosecond pulse train and an infrared (IR) femtosecond pulse. In this case, the comb-like photoelectron spectrum obtained by io...
