Carrier-envelope (CE) phase-stabilized sub-two-cycle pulses are generated from a $500\mathrm{MHz}$ compact prismless octave-spanning laser without extracavity nonlinear optical processes distorting the laser output. The necessary f and $2f$ spectral components are generated intracavity and coupled out independently from the main pulse through specially designed cavity mirrors, resulting in a $55\mathrm{dB}$ CE beat note ( $100\mathrm{kHz}$ resolution bandwidth). The in-loop CE phase error (integrated from $2.5\mathrm{mHz}$ to $10\mathrm{MHz}$ ) is $67\mathrm{mrad}$ , equivalent to a timing jitter between carrier and envelope of 28 as at $790\mathrm{nm}$ .
