Abstract

The effect of asymmetries in frequency chirp and temporal pulse shape of the laser-excitation of plasma waves was studied. It was shown that laser pulse shape and frequency chirp were controlled experimentally in the laser system using grating pair compressor. Results indicated that the pulse shaping provided a method of controlling plasma instabilites and optimizing the performance of laser-plasma devices.
