Abstract
We discuss the origin of residual carrier-envelope phase jitters in passively stabilized laser systems, comparing measured data at 9 different laser systems with a theoretical model. These considerations strongly suggest the Gordon-Haus jitter of the primary oscillator as the reason for the often observed excessive CEP jitters of these systems.
