Phase retrieval of electronic wavefunctions generated by photoionization has been a longstanding challenge. Here we measure the time-reversed process of photoionization – photorecombination – in attosecond pulse generation. We demonstrate all-optical interferometry of two independent phase-locked attosecond light sources [1]. Our measurement enables us to directly determine the phase shift associated with electron scattering and with structural minima in atomic systems.

In a second study, we superimpose two attosecond light sources with perpendicular polarization, achieving direct time-domain polarization control [2]. We establish an extreme-ultraviolet lock-in detection scheme, allowing the isolation and amplification of weak chiral signals. We demonstrate our scheme by a phase-resolved measurement of magnetic circular dichroism.
