Measurement of the Time Structure of the Field and Carrier Phase of Single-Cycle Near- and Mid-Infrared Pulses

A method of direct measurement of the light field has been implemented. It allows one to reveal features of the time structure of single-cycle pulses formed through soliton self-compression of near and mid-infrared pulses. Broadband anomalous dispersion necessary for the soliton transformation of near and mid-infrared pulses is ensured by the structure of a waveguide system optimized in the class of hollow photonic-crystal waveguides with an antiresonance shell. The structure of the field of pulses formed under these conditions is characterized by the presence of the central most intense half-cycle whose reproducibility from pulse to pulse is ensured by the stability of the field phase with respect to the envelope.
