Carrier-envelope phase stabilization of high-contrast femtosecond laser pulses with a relativistic intensity

We report on the generation of carrier-envelope phase (CEP)-stabilized pulses with a relativistic intensity and a high-contrast ratio. The CEP stabilization is achieved with a jitter of 0.95 rad from a 0.5 kHz femtosecond laser pulses with a focal intensity of 2.6 × 10 18 W ∕ cm 2 and a picosecond c...

Description
Summary:We report on the generation of carrier-envelope phase (CEP)-stabilized pulses with a relativistic intensity and a high-contrast ratio. The CEP stabilization is achieved with a jitter of 0.95 rad from a 0.5 kHz femtosecond laser pulses with a focal intensity of 2.6 × 10 18 W ∕ cm 2 and a picosecond contrast of 2.5 × 10 − 9 . CEP noise analysis shows that the beam pointing at the pulse compressor is a dominant factor of the CEP fluctuation with our laser system.
