Deskripsi

The carrier-envelope-phase of sub-cycle UV pulses strongly influences the dynamics of quantum systems, but its characterization is not accessible experimentally. Here, an asymmetry in the of angular photofragment distributions of diatomic molecules is identified as a way to imprint carrier-envelope-phase on a measurable quantity.
