Abstract

With carrier-envelope phase (CEP) stabilized mid-infrared (MIR) laser pulse, the CEP-controlled supercontinuum generation can be distinctly observed in a very small distance range when the focus of the laser pulse closes to the exit surface of the fused silica (FS). This CEP effect will be gradually weakened and finally disappears if the laser focus moves out of this range. With numerical simulation, we find that although the CEP effect starts from the tunneling ionization of the electron, it can be observed only when the supercontinuum mainly comes from the self-phase modulation (SPM) and self-steepening of the laser pulse and too much electrons will make it ambiguous.

Fig. 1 (a) The schematic of the sample geometry in the experiment. The laser pulses are focused by an off-axis parabolic mirror (PM) into the fused silica (FS). (b) The measured spectra as a function of moving distance of the fused silica. The exit surface of the fused silica is placed near the focus in the beginning, corresponding to z_exp = 0. (c) Measured spectra at moving distance of 525μm (solid blue curve) and 1625μm (solid red curve).

Fig. 2 Generated supercontinuum varies with the CEP when the fused silica moves forward of 375μm (a), 425μm (b), and 500μm (c), respectively. (d) Normalized intensity varies with the CEP for three wavelengths (523nm, 548nm and 576nm) in Fig. 2(b). The red solid curve is the sine function fit to the experimental data (blue stars). The black solid curve marks the shift of intensity peak.

Fig. 3 (a) The simulation schematic of the beam focus in the vacuum, the incident surface of sample and the spatial-temporal distribution of the pulse in the focus. (b) Simulated on-axis temporal field strength as a function of the propagation distance when z_sim and CEP are −650μm and zero, respectively. A, B and C label propagation distance of 500μm, 600μm and 705μm, respectively. (c) Simulated supercontinuum corresponds to Fig. 3(b), but only the spectrum from 400 nm to 1000 nm is shown here. The spatial distribution of field strength of the pulse at A(d), B(e) and C(f) position. The insets show on-axis full electric field.

Fig. 4 (a) The modulation depth α of 500 nm radiation with propagating distance for four different z_sim. D and E label propagation distance of 566μm and 700μm, respectively. (b) Intensity of 500nm as a function of the CEP for three different pulse durations (11.5fs, 12fs, 12.5fs) and the average value at D (left figure) and E (right figure) position when z_sim equals −625μm. (c) Generated supercontinuum spectrum at the exit surface of the fused silica [dotted black line in the Fig. 4(a)] as a function of CEP when z_sim equals −710μm. (d) Normalized intensity varies with the CEPs in the exit surface of the fused silica [dotted black line in the Fig. 4(a)] for three wavelengths (475 nm, 500 nm and 528 nm) when z_sim equals −710μm (upper figure) or −625μm (bottom figure). The intensity peak moves to small CEP with the increase of the wavelength as represented by an arrow in the upper figure.
