Cavalieri et al. Attosecond spectroscopy in condensed matter
Nature Vol. 449, October 2007
The quest for faster and faster time-resolved measurements has reached a new level: Cavalieri et al. report that they have measured a delay of 100 attoseconds in the emission of electrons ejected from a surface irradiated by light. This is not just the experiment with the best time resolution yet; it is also the first time that attosecond metrology has been applied to a solid, rather than a gaseous, system.
Haworth et al. Half-cycle cutoffs in harmonic spectra and robust carrier-envelope phase retrieval
Nature Physics Vol. 3, January 2007 
The researchers from the Blackett Laboratory of the Imperial College Londone report the first experimental observation of high-harmonic emission at individual half-cycles of a laser pulse and show that these half-cycle emissions are extremely sensitive to the CEP, providing a route to a new single-shot measurement technique of the CEP.
Baltuska et al. Phase-controlled amplification of few-cycle laser pulses
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics Vol. 9, July-August 2003
An invited paper that investigates both the problem of carrier envelope phase stabilization of amplified ultrashort laser pulses as well as a method of phase calibration.
Baltuska et al. Attosecond control of electronic processes by intense light fields
Nature Vol. 421. February 2003
Report of the generation of intense, few-cycle laser pulses with a stable carrier envelope phase that permit the triggering and steering of microscopic motion with an ultimate precision limited only by quantum mechanical uncertainty.
