The robustness of attosecond streaking measurements

We investigate attosecond streaking measurements, where a spectrogram is described by an ensemble of electron wave packets. Such a description may be required for processes more complex than direct photoemission from an isolated atom; an ensemble of wave packets may also be needed to describe the role of shot-to-shot fluctuations or a non-uniform spatio-temporal profile of attosecond light pulses. Under these conditions, we examine the performance of conventional (FROG) analysis of attosecond streaking measurements.
