Abstract

Summary form only given. Recently, the control of the carrier-envelope phase in a femtosecond mode-locked laser has achieved. Sub-femtosecond pulse generation has been proposed by Fourier-synthesizing of subharmonic pulses. In order to realize the subfemtosecond pulse generation by this method, each phase has to be locked each other. We have achieved the relative carrier phase locking among subharmonic pulses.
