    (a) The calculated SH intensity without the THz field I2ω0ω0 as the function of the time interval Δt and the laser pulse ϕCEP when W=30 μJ; (b) the SH intensity with the THz field I2ω0ω0+T versus the CEP and Δt; (c) the increment of SH intensities due to the THz signals I2ω0T; (d) the detected THz signals for different values of CEP; (e) the peak and valley values of the detected THz waveforms versus few-cycle lasers’ CEP.
    (a) Dependence of SH signal intensity on the THz pulse peak field with probe pulses of some special CEP points relative to the optimum one. (b) The subtraction results of the curves in (a).
    (a) The THz SH signal waveforms detected by probe pulses when the amount of fluctuations is 1% of ϕCEPOPT; (b) the difference signal waveform and the original THz waveform; (c) the THz spectrum from the Fourier transform of the THz waveforms in (b); (d) the THz SH signal waveforms detected by the probe pulses when the amount of fluctuations is 5% of ϕCEPOPT; (e) the difference signal waveform and the original THz waveform; (f) the THz spectrum from the Fourier transform of THz waveforms in (e).
