Long-Term Stabilization of Carrier-Envelope Phase for Few Cycles Ti:Sapphire Laser Amplifier

We realize a long-term carrier-envelope phase (CEP) stabilization for a chirped pulse amplified Ti:sapphire laser by locking the oscillator and amplifier independently. Based on the measurement of CEP by employing f-to-2f interference technique between the octave-spanning spectrum which is generated from a rare gas filled hollow fiber, continuous locking time up to 7.2 h with 85 mrad fluctuation is demonstrated. Finely compensating the dispersion by a set of chirped mirrors, quasi-mono cycle pulses as shorter as 3.8 fs are obtained. Further experimental research on high harmonic generation dependence on CEP shown the waveform of laser pulses has been successfully controlled.
