(a) The harmonic spectra in an inhomogeneous field ( ε = 0.0048 a.u.) with the different relative phases. (b) Temporal profiles of the generated isolated as pulses synthesized by the continua shown in panel (a). The cases of φ = 0 (solid black curve), φ = 0.05 π (dashed red curve), φ = −0.1 π (dotted green curve), and φ = −0.15 π (dashed–dotted blue curve), respectively. o.c. denotes the optical cycle.
