Abstract

In this article, we demonstrate the generation of four phase-locked harmonic pulses separated in time using frequency-domain interferometry. The spectra present a high sensitivity to a change of the relative phase on an attosecond time scale. The spectral resolution and the control of this relative phase could be used to perform high resolution measurements.
