Abstract
Carrier-envelope (CE) phase-stabilized sub-two-cycle pulses are generated from a compact prismless octave-spanning laser without extracavity nonlinear optical processes distorting the laser output. The necessary f and spectral components are generated intracavity and coupled out independently from the main pulse through specially designed cavity mirrors, resulting in a CE beat note ( resolution bandwidth). The in-loop CE phase error (integrated from to ) is , equivalent to a timing jitter between carrier and envelope of 28 as at .
