Abstract
With pulse durations in the two-optical-cycle range, the typical assumption of a slowly-varying envelope in optics is expected to fail. Experimentally, the breakdown of this assumption manifests itself in a dependence of the conversion efficiency of nonlinear optical processes on the relative phase between carrier and envelope of a short pulse.
