β¦ Synopsis
We report on the radiative recombination of a free electron with a hydrogenic ion in the presence of a few-cycle pulses. It has been shown that the main features of the emission spectra may be described in the framework of a semiclassical model in which the recombination is viewed as a two-step process. The spectra width of the emitted photon energy is practically confined in a range of values in which the emission is classically allowed. Moreover, it has been found that spectra width can be controlled by varying the carrier envelope phase and/or the pulse peak intensity.

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
