Abstract :
We generate stable carrier-envelop-phase thermal-infrared pulses by phase-lock two generating near-infrared pulses in a difference frequency mixing setup. Our newly developed phase-matched electro-optic sampling system completely (amplitude and phase) characterizes the mid-infrared transients.
