Attosecond science investigates the realm of processes that happen in fleetingly short passages of time. One attosecond to one second, is what one second is to the age of the universe! Advances in lasers and specifically ultra-short pulsed lasers have opened the door to this extreme frontier of physics. In this thesis I will describe what is required from a laser system in order to access these time scales. The stringent requirements needed motivated us to extensively study, model, redesign and then finally rebuild our laser system making it capable of delivering the necessary laser pulses. Characterisation of these types of laser pulses is essential in making them usable in the pursuit of a fundamental understanding of ultrashort physica...
