✦ Synopsis
The shape of the field of a few-cycle laser pulse
strongly depends on the carrier-envelope phase. For a circularly
polarized few-cycle pulse, this phase is correlated with a
direction in space. Superposition of two counterrotating
circularly polarized few-cycle pulses yields a linearly polarized
pulse. High-energy electrons, generated through above-threshold
ionization by such a combination of pulses, are emitted in a
direction correlated with the carrier-envelope phase. Based on
these facts, we propose two schemes for direct measurement and
control of the carrier-envelope phase and the phase slip of a
pulse train.
