Books for Ultrafast Optics career

In summary, the speaker is a student studying Photonics and is interested in ultrafast optics, particularly in attosecond optics. They are looking for book recommendations to supplement their more engineering-focused course. They have found some books on Amazon but are seeking advice from Physics Forums users for more valuable recommendations.

I am studying Photonics and currently I am on my third semester of undergraduate studies. I am interested in ultrafast optics and mostly in attosecond optics to study electron's in atoms and other fundamental quantum mechanical phenomena. As my course is more engineering oriented than I would like I set on a quest to learn everything else I need by myself.

Could you please tell me what the best books are but not only for the ultrafast optics but also books that I should read before I touch those on ultrafast optics?
