Abstract
The carrier envelop phase (CEP) of isolated attosecond pulses (IAPs) is theoretically and experimentally investigated based on the assumption that a significant contribution originates from the measurable CEP jitter of the driving laser. By solving the timedependent Schr\"odinger equation, it is demonstrated that the attosecond CEP jitter of IAPs is minimized when the driving pulse is near its Fourier limit but with slightly negative chirp. Although, at present the utilization of the CEP of IAPs has limited applications, understanding and characterization of the CEP jitter of IAPs is the first step towards exact control of the electric field of extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses
