Tracing the Phase of Focused Broadband Laser Pulses

Abstract

Precise knowledge of the behavior of the phase of light in the focus of a laser beam is fundamental to understand and control laser-driven processes. More than a hundred years ago the axial phase evolution for focused monochromatic light beams was described and is now commonly known as the Gouy phase [1]. Recent theoretical work has brought into question the validity of applying this monochromatic phase formulation to the broadband laser pulses becoming ubiquitous today [2]. The need for investigation of the spatial behavior of the local carrier-envelope phase (CEP) is also underscored by experimental studies, which suggest deviations from the monochromatic Gouy phase (see for instance [3]).
