    • Showcased the capability of producing spectrally tunable attosecond pulses using the light-field synthesizer.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed genetic optimization method is efficient for tailoring attosecond pulse generation.
    • The single-atom model provides a computationally tractable and accurate alternative to complex 3D simulations.
    • Light-field synthesizers enable the production of spectrally tunable attosecond pulses, advancing ultrafast science research.
