Abstract:
We report on an octave-spanning Ti:sapphire laser oscillator stabilized to carrier-envelope-offset frequency zero, generating a pulse train with constant field profile for every pulse. Stabilization is realized using an extended self-referenced locking scheme enabling to lock the carrier envelope-offset phase with less than 65 attosecond rms timing jitter. The stabilized system features a pulse repetition rate of 100 MHz with pulses as short as 4.5 fs and 220 mW average output power. With this laser system it was possible for the first time to demonstrate a spectral interference pattern of 1011 oscillator pulses in an out-of-loop f-to-2f-interferometer.

Effective Value of a Periodic Waveform
The effective value of a periodic current represents the direct current (DC) that conveys the same average power to a resistor as the periodic current itself. This concept is crucial when assessing AC circuits. To determine the...
RLC Circuit as a Damped Oscillator
Consider a series RLC circuit. Here, the presence of resistance in the circuit leads to energy loss due to joule heating in the resistance. Therefore, the total electromagnetic energy in the circuit is no longer constant and decreases with time. Since the magnitude of charge, current, and potential difference continuously decreases, their oscillations are said to be damped. This is...
