“Impact of Plasma Density Inhomogeneities on Laser-Produced Gratings’ Probe Pulse Reflections and Transmissions”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38115416

This study finds that inhomogeneities in laser-produced plasma density gratings, often overlooked, can significantly impact probe pulse reflections and transmissions, revealing opportunities for improved pulse control through grating apodization and spectral phase manipulation.
