  • Abstract
    Multiple-focal-plane spatial phase retrieval for a chirped-pulse-amplification laser is demonstrated for the first time. Advantages of this method are simplicity of setup, ability to measure angular dispersion, and potential integration into precision, on-shot focal-spot diagnostics.
