Carrier-envelope-phase insensitivity in high-order harmonic generation driven by few-cycle laser pulses

Hernandez-Garcia, C. ; Holgado, W. ; Plaja, L. ; Alonso, B. ; Silva, F. ; Miranda, Miguel LU ; Crespo, H. and Sola, I. J. (2015) In Optics Express 23(16). p.21497-21508
Abstract
We present evidence for self-stabilization of the relative spectral phase of high-order harmonic emission against intensity variations of the driving field. Our results demonstrate that, near the laser focus, phase matching of the harmonic field from a macroscopic target can compensate for the intensity dependence of the intrinsic phase of the harmonics emitted by a single radiator. As a consequence, we show experimentally and theoretically the insensitivity of the harmonic spectra produced at the laser focus against variations of the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) of a sub-two-cycle driving field. In addition, the associated attosecond pulse trains exhibit phase locking against CEP changes of the few-cycle driver. (C) 2015 Optical Society... (More)
