19. The first implementation of the basic concept of a light-field - driven streak camera has drawn on an orthogonal detection geometry (electrons collected along a direction orthogonal to the electric field vector of the streaking NIR field (29).
20. The laser field needed to induce this change in electron energy is orders of magnitude less intense than that required for strong-field ionization. Hence, this streaking field has negligible influence on the atomic or molecular processes under study, unless its oscillations happen to be in resonance with a transition from an occupied to an unoccupied quantum state of the system.

26. Experiments that can be performed with subfemtosecond pulse trains [including those described in (23-25)] would benefit from using a small number of well-controlled and characterized subfemtosecond pulses.

43. The electron kinetic energies have been calculated in terms of the classical description of the center-of-mass motion of the freed electron wave packet (Fig. 2), under the assumption of a Gaussian pulse shape and by using the strong-field approximation. The factor of ∼0.6 in Eq. 1 depends on the pulse shape and intensity but varies less than 15% in the relevant parameter range.
