摘要
We theoretically investigate the dependence of the electron tunneling on the carrier-envelope phase of a few-cycle laser pulse in a coupled double-quantum-dot system, and we show that the electron tunneling between coupled quantum dots is very sensitive to the carrier-envelope phase under a change of the parameters of the system. This in turn provides an additional means to measure the carrier-envelope phase of a laser pulse at lower laser intensity regime in the solid-state nanostructure. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
