Apparatus for stabilizing carrier-envelope phase (CEP) of laser pulse
generated by mode locked pulsed laser based on direct locking method
includes laser oscillator, interferometer, detector and double feedback
circuit. The laser oscillator includes the mode locked pulsed laser
generating the laser pulse. The interferometer generates laser pulses
having first and second frequency components from the laser pulse
generated by the mode locked pulsed laser to generate first and second
interference signals that substantially correspond to each other in time
domain and space domain. The detector receives the first and second
interference signals to output third and fourth interference signals by
inverting phase of the second interference signal. The double feedback
circuit controls the laser oscillator so that the CEP of the laser pulse
generated by the mode locked pulsed laser has substantially constant
value with respect to time using CEP signal obtained from the third and
fourth interference signals.
