Abstract：Isolated attosecond extreme-ultraviolate (XUV) pulses are generated based on high-harmonic-generation from a neon gas cell driven by carrier-envelope phase stabilized sub-5-fs Ti:sapphire laser pulses at repetition rate of 1 kHz. Temporal characterization of isolated attosecond XUV pulses is demonstrated to be 160-attosecond by attosecond streaking spectroscopy. The development of attosecond source and streaking spectroscopy will allow scientists to explore the electron dynamics in matter.
