Abstract

In the past two decades, radio-frequency (RF) controls have improved by two orders in magnitude achieving meanwhile sub-10 fs phase stabilities and 0.01% amplitude precision. Advances are through improved field detection methods and extensive usage of digital signal processing on very powerful field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The question rises, what can be achieved in the next 10 years? In this paper, a review is given of existing systems and strategies, current stability limitations of RF control systems and new technologies with the potential to achieve attosecond resolutions.
