Diffraction of a pulsed plane wave from an amplitude diffraction grating

摘要

A study of diffraction of a time Gaussian-shaped pulse from an amplitude diffraction grating is presented. T he changes of the spectral composition, time intensity and energy of the diffraction pattern are considered. T he measurement of the spectral composition of the primary pulse with the help of a diffraction grating based on the measurement of the spatial distribution of energy of the diffraction pattern is discussed.
