Direct in-situ single-shot measurements of the absolute carrier-envelope phases of ultrashort pulses
Many important physical processes such as nonlinear optics and coherent control are highly sensitive to the absolute carrier-envelope phase (CEP) of driving ultrashort laser pulses. This makes the measurement of CEP immensely important in relevant fields. Even though relative CEPs can be measured with a few existing technologies, the estimate of the absolute CEP is not straightforward and always requires theoretical inputs. Here, we demonstrate a novel in-situ technique based on angular streaking that can achieve such a goal without complicated calibration procedures. Single-shot measurements of the absolute CEP have been achieved with an estimated precision of 0.19 radians

All-optical three-dimensional electron momentum imaging
We report a new implementation of three-dimensional (3D) momentum imaging for electrons, employing a two-dimensional (2D) imaging detector and a silicon photomultiplier tube (siPMT). To achieve the necessary time resolution for 3D electron imaging, a poly(<i>p</i>-phenylene)-dye-based fast scintillator (Exalite 404) was used in the imaging detector instead of conventional phosphors. The system demonstrated an electron time-of-flight resolution comparable with that of electrical MCP pick-off (tens of picoseconds), while achieving an unprecedented dead time reduction (∼0.48 ns) when detecting two electrons
