Spatial chirp control of high-intensity 4D pulse focusing for laser-matter interactions

Spatial chirp can be manipulated to control the focusing conditions for materials processing. Our double-ABCD nonparaxial analysis helps to understand and exploit the mechanisms for intensity localization, pulse front tilt, and grating formation, and includes initial spectral phase and detuning of t...
