Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 740 - 743 (2000)Controlling the Phase Evolution of Few-Cycle Light Pulses
A. Apolonski1,2, A. Poppe1, G. Tempea1, Ch. Spielmann1, Th. Udem3, R. Holzwarth3, T. W. Hänsch3, and F. Krausz1 Received 13 April 2000 Using a coherent nonlinear optical technique, slipping of the carrier through the envelope of 6-fs light wave packets emitted from a mode-locked-oscillator/pulse-compressor system has been measured, permitting the generation of intense, few-cycle light with precisely reproducible electric and magnetic fields. These pulses open the way to controlling the evolution of strong-field interactions on the time scale of the light oscillation cycle and are indispensable to reproducible attosecond x-ray pulse generation. ©2000 The American Physical Society
