Abstract

We present a laser source delivering TW peak power waveform-controlled 1.5-cycle light fields that can be focused down to relativistic intensity at 1 kHz repetition rate. These pulses are generated via post-compression of high-temporal-contrast 25-fs pulses from a Ti:Sapphire double chirped pulse amplifier in a stretched-hollow-fiber compressor scaled for high peak power. The unique capabilities of this source are demonstrated by observing CEP effects in laser wakefield acceleration of relativistic electrons for the first time.
