perplexus.info :: Science : Ultrashort colour

Ultrashort colour (Posted on 2006-10-06)

Recently physicists have managed to build "attosecond lasers", lasers which emit pulses 10^-18 seconds long, interrupted by much longer periods of darkness (at least 10^-14 seconds). Before them, lasers emitting femtosecond (10^-15 seconds) pulses have been around. Assuming they produce visible light, what colour is it?
