We demonstrate a novel scheme for carrier-envelope (CE) phase stabilization of few-cycle laser pulses from a mode-locked oscillator. Our scheme utilizes a monolithic, collinear geometry which obviates the need for splitting the laser output, where a fraction is used for CE-phase control and the rema

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 pul
560 TW peak power has been achieved experimentally using a Cr:forsterite master oscillator at 1250 nm, a stretcher, three optical parametrical amplifiers based on KD\*P crystals providing 38 J energy in the chirped pulse at 910 nm central wavelength, and a vacuum compressor providing 43 fs pulse dur
On the basis of classical electrodynamics the reflection and transmission of a few-cycle femtosecond Ti:Sa laser pulse impinging on a thin metal layer have been analysed. The thickness of the layer was assumed to be much smaller than the skin depth of the radiation field, and the metallic electrons
