Abstract
We used attosecond streaking to probe the temporal structure of isolated attosecond EUV pulses generated in a bulk solid (here, SiO2 nanofilms) using a single-cycle optical driver. The fine details of the dynamic response of the system encoded in the chirp of the emerging attosecond pulse enabled the establishment of a firm link between the emission of EUV radiation and the intraband electric currents induced by the field-driven, coherent, nonlinear scattering of charge carriers in the bulk of SiO2. EUV emission from SiO2 has been shown to be phase coherent (field reproducible) and immune to minor phase fluctuation of the driving laser pulses.
