We report on the generation of carrier-envelope phase (CEP)-stabilized pulses with a relativistic intensity and a high-contrast ratio. The CEP stabilization is achieved with a jitter of 0.95 rad0.95rad from a 0.5 kHz0.5kHz femtosecond laser pulses with a focal intensity of 2.6×1018 W/cm22.6×1018W∕cm2 and a picosecond contrast of 2.5×10−92.5×10−9. CEP noise analysis shows that the beam pointing at the pulse compressor is a dominant factor of the CEP fluctuation with our laser system
