Abstract

A method for stabilizing the carrier-envelope phase of mode-locked oscillators is introduced. Other than previous concepts that exerted feedback action directly on the oscillator, our novel feed-forward concept employs an acousto-optic frequency shifter after the oscillator to correct the phase drift. This novel method is shown to simultaneously provide superior residual phase jitters and long-term performance, enabling previously considered impossible experiments in attosecond physics.
