    Abstract

    We investigate off-axis phase-matched terahertz (THz) radiation in laser plasma pumped by few-cycle laser pulses. We find that the THz amplitude and angular distributions in the far field are sensitively dependent on the pump pulse's focal carrier-envelope phase (CEP). Ring-like profiles of THz radiation are obtained at CEP values of 0.5 π and 1.5 π, due to the inversely symmetric local THz waveforms emitted before and after laser focus. Off-axis phase-matched THz radiation offers a tool to accurately measure the CEP of few-cycle pulses at the center of a medium.
