Title: System and method for determining absolute carrier-envelope phase of ultrashort laser pulses

Abstract

A system for determining an absolute carrier-envelope phase (CEP) of ultrashort laser pulses includes a laser system for generating a laser beam including ultrashort optical pulses of a duration of less than 10 fs, an ultrabroadband quarter-wave plate configured to polarize the laser beam, and a gas jet emitting a continuous jet stream into the laser beam. The system includes focusing optics to adjust a focal spot of the laser beam to the gas jet, and a detector arrangement including a beam block and a microchannel plate (MCP) imaging detector, wherein the laser beam is directed to the detector arrangement. The method involves using angular streaking to determine the absolute CEP of both elliptically and linearly polarized light.
