Abstract

Spike train of uneven duration or delay (STUD) pulses hold potential for laser-plasma interaction (LPI) control in laser fusion. The technique based on time grating is applied to generate an STUD pulse train. Time grating, a temporal analogy of the diffraction grating, can control the pulse width, shape, and repetition rate easily through the use of electro-optical devices. The pulse width and repetition rate are given by the modulation frequency and depth of the phase modulation function in theory and numerical calculation. The zero-chirped phase modulation is good for the compression effect of the time grating. A principle experiment of two pulses interfering is shown to verify the time grating function.
