Some of Corkum's most highly cited papers include his work on the three-step model of high-harmonic generation, which provides a framework for understanding the HHG process. Other notable papers include his work on the generation of attosecond pulses using HHG and the application of HHG to the study of molecular dynamics.
This metric reflects both the productivity and citation impact of his publications. His h-index is exceptionally high, typical of a Nobel-caliber scientist.
Corkum remains active in the Joint Centre for Extreme Photonics (JCEP).
