Abstract

This work experimentally proves that the carrier envelope phase is preserved upon the cross-polarized wave (XPW) process. This confirmation of solid carrier envelope phase (CEP) stability of XPW may increase the use of the XPW process even further in high intensity pulse shaping technology. Specifically, with the use of XPW as a nonlinear filter in a double chirped pulse amplification scheme, not only intense femtosecond pulses with high contrast can be generated, but also their carrier envelope phase is maintained.
