High-speed carrier-envelope phase drift detection of amplified laser pulses.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An instrument for measuring carrier-envelope phase (CEP) drift of amplified femtosecond laser pulses at repetition rates up to the 100-kHz regime is presented. The device can be used for real-time pulse labeling and it could also enable single-loop CEP control of future high-repetition rate laser amplifiers. The scheme is demonstrated by measuring the CEP drift of a 1-kHz source.

Reduction of fast carrier-envelope phase jitter in femtosecond laser amplifiers.
The phase noise of the f-to-2f interferometer used for stabilizing the carrier-envelope phase of a femtosecond laser oscillator was studied by adding a He-Ne laser beam co-propagating with the short pulse laser beam. The noise was reduced to ~60 mrad by stabilizing the optical path length difference of the interferometer. This suppressed the fast jitter of the carrier-envelope phase of the ampl...
متن کاملLong-term stabilization of the carrier-envelope phase of few-cycle laser pulses
The temporal variation of the electromagnetic field of a few-cycle laser pulse depends on whether the maximum of the pulse amplitude coincides with that of the wave cycle or not, i.e., it depends on the phase of the field with respect to the pulse envelope. Fixation of this ‘carrier-envelope’ phase has only very recently become possible for amplified laser pulses. This paved the way for a compl...
متن کاملCarrier-envelope phase shift caused by variation of grating separation.
The effects of variation of the grating separation in a stretcher on the carrier-envelope (CE) phase of amplified pulses are investigated. By translating one of the telescope mirrors in the stretcher with a piezoelectric transducer, it is found that a 1 mum change of the distance causes a 3.7+/-1.2 rad shift of the CE phase, which is consistent with theoretical estimations. The results indicate...
متن کاملAgile linear interferometric method for carrier-envelope phase drift measurement.
A bandwidth-independent and linear interferometric method for the measurement of the carrier-envelope phase drift of ultrashort pulse trains is demonstrated. The pulses are temporally overlapped in a resonant multiple-beam interferometer. From the position of the spectral interference pattern, the relative carrier-envelope phase between two subsequent oscillator pulses is obtained at data acqui...
متن کاملHigh-power parametric amplification of 11.8-fs laser pulses with carrier-envelope phase control.
Phase-stable parametric chirped-pulse amplification of ultrashort pulses from a carrier-envelope phase-stabilized mode-locked Ti:sapphire oscillator (11.0 fs) to 0.25 mJ/pulse at 1 kHz is demonstrated. Compression with a grating compressor and a LCD shaper yields near-Fourier-limited 11.8-fs pulses with an energy of 0.12 mJ. The amplifier is pumped by 532-nm pulses from a synchronized mode-lock...
