Abstract

We report on the combination of an octave-spanning Ti:sapphire oscillator and a frequency-doubled thin-disk laser used as pump source. Self-starting and self-synchronization of the two lasers has been observed. We demonstrate for the first time the stabilization of the carrier-envelope phase of a Ti:sapphire laser pumped by a mode-locked pump source.
