Abstract :
Ultrabroadband near-infrared (800-1700 nm) pulses are obtained by type-II difference-frequency generation between two synchronized non-collinear optical parametric amplifiers. Self-stabilization of the carrier-envelope offset phase, as expected from the difference frequency process, is demonstrated experimentally.
