Abstract

Abstract: Carrier-envelope phases (CEPs) from a kHz repetition rate, non-CEP stabilized laser system are measured and tagged with two different methods: an f –2 f interferometer and a stereo-above-threshold-ionization carrier-envelope-phase-meter. Both methods utilize the octave spanning spectrum generated in the hollow-core fiber (HCF) that broadens the laser spectrum to produce few-cycle pulses. Phases from both methods are carefully synchronized and compared on a single shot level. The results show that the CEPs measured by both methods are in good agreement and demonstrate that a HCF based f –2 f interferometer is well suited for CEP tagged experiments.
