Spectral modulation and supercontinuum generation assisted by infrared femtosecond plasma grating

摘要

Spectral modulation and supercontinuum generation of a probe pulse is investigated by using the plasma grating induced by the interference of two infrared femtosecond laser pulses.The dependences of the supercontinuum generation from the probe pulse on the time delay,the relative polarization angle between the probe pulse and the two-pump pulses,and the input probe pulse energy are investigated.The far-field spatial profiles of the three pulses are measured with different time delays and relative polarization angle,and the core energy of the probe pulse as functions of the time delay and relative polarization angle are also shown.
