We present the polarization effects in an all-optical technique to measure the electric field of a few cycle laser pulse via high harmonic generation (HHG). In our approach, the generation of an isolated attosecond pulse (IAP) and the associated photon yield serves as an ultrashort temporal gate to characterize the electric field of a weak perturbing unknown pulse. Changing the polarization of the unknown laser pulse from parallel to orthogonal polarization with respect to the pulse generating IAP, we report the modulation in the harmonic yield at twice the laser period. The experimental results are in good agreement with simulations based on the strong-field approximations.
