text: A daily challenge in attosecond science is to characterize the temporal proprieties of the attosecond pulses used in any pump-probe experiments with atoms, molecules or solids.
  The most used technique is based on the frequency-resolved optical gating for a complete reconstruction of attosecond bursts (FROG-CRAB).
  The main advantage of this technique is that it allows to exploit the corroborated frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG) technique, developed in 1991 for picosecond-femtosecond pulse characterization, to the attosecond field.
  Complete reconstruction of attosecond bursts (CRAB) is an extension of FROG and it is based on the same idea for the field reconstruction.
  In other words, FROG-CRAB is based on the conversion of an attosecond pulse into an electron wave-packet that is freed in the continuum by atomic photoionization, as already described with Eq..
  The role of the low-frequency driving laser pulse( e.g. infra-red pulse) is to behave as gate for the temporal measurement.
  Then, by exploring different delays between the low-frequency and the attosecond pulse a streaking trace (or streaking spectrogram) can be obtained.
  This 2D-spectrogram is later analyzed by a reconstruction algorithm with the goal of retrieving both the attosecond pulse and the IR pulse, with no need of a prior knowledge on any of them.
  However, as Eq.  pinpoints, the intrinsic limits of this technique is the knowledge on atomic dipole proprieties, in particular on the atomic dipole quantum phase.
  The reconstruction of both the low-frequency field and the attosecond pulse from a streaking trace is typically achieved through iterative algorithms, such as:
  * Principal component generalized projections algorithm (PCGPA).
  * Volkov transform generalized projection algorithm (VTGPA).
  * extended ptychographic iterative engine (ePIE).
