Abstract :
We implement a novel parametric waveform synthesizer based on three carrier-envelope-phase-locked femtosecond pulses with tunable commensurate/-incommensurate carrier-frequencies. Directional electron emission asymmetry in such light-fields is shown to cause the generation of tunable Brunel-type sideband radiation.
