摘要：
The carrier-envelope phase (CEP)-dependent spectral effect of the reflected few-cycle ultrashort pulse from a dense medium is investigated. It is shown that when adding static electric field, a pronounced CEP dependence of the reflected spectrum can be obtained. Moreover, the period of the CEP-dependent signal becomes 2 pi because the inversion symmetry for laser-matter interaction is broken, which allows for extraction of the CEP information in both sign and amplitude.
