    Long-term stabilization of the carrier-envelope phase of few-cycle laser pulses

    The temporal variation of the electromagnetic field of a few-cycle laser pulse depends on whether the maximum of the pulse amplitude coincides with that of the wave cycle or not, i.e., it depends on the phase ...
