Abstract: Effects of pulse width on ultrahort laser pulse and spectrum and their carrier-envelope phase(CEP)dependence in a dense V-type three-level atomic medium are investigated with numerical solutions of a full Maxwell-Bloch equation without slowly varying envelope and rotating wave approximations.It is shown that:As pulse width is small,pulse splitting number is less,spectrum is wide,high-frequency part of the spectrum is significant,CEP has great effect on pulse and spectrum,particularly effect on time interval between sub-pulses and strength of high-frequency part is more obvious;As pulse width increasing,pulse splitting number increases,width of spectrum narrows and high-frequency part of the spectrum decreases gradually,effect of CEP on pulse and spectrum weakens gradually.

Key words: ultrashort laser pulse, spectrum, pulse width, carrier-envelope phase
