Cover Story: Attosecond metrology has been revolutionized by the RABBIT technique, which enables gauging of ultrashort laser pulses and precise timing of ultrafast electron dynamics, contributing to the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics. RABBIT is traditionally described within first-order perturbation theory. In this work, we develop a fully time-dependent, multiphoton theory of RABBIT within the strong-field approximation for photoelectron emission perpendicular to laser polarization in hydrogen atoms. Analytical expressions reveal a factorization of the photoelectron signal into interhalf- and intrahalf-cycle interference contributions. We show that quantum trajectories released within the same optical half-cycle dominate attosecond time delays in this geometry, leading to a distinctive doubling of the peak spacing compared to parallel emission.
