5.1 fs pulses generated by filamentation and carrier envelope phase stability analysis

Intense 5.1 fs CEO (carrier envelope offset) phase stable pulses were generated through two-fold filamentation in a noble gas at atmospheric pressure. The preservation of the CEO phase during the filamentation process was investigated. We show that generating these short pulses using filaments is no...

Description
Summary:Intense 5.1 fs CEO (carrier envelope offset) phase stable pulses were generated through two-fold filamentation in a noble gas at atmospheric pressure. The preservation of the CEO phase during the filamentation process was investigated. We show that generating these short pulses using filaments is not detrimental for the CEO phase stabilization, and that the more than one octave-spanning spectrum intrinsically generated by the process is feasible, and offers certain benefits, for direct use in single shot f-2f spectral interferometry.
