Abstract :
Different mode regimes versus the extent modulation instability stabilization were investigated with a complex diagnostics system. Slippage due to frequency detuning of electron and light pulses turned out to be the main stabilization factor. Spectral and time parameters of the laser, especially the radiation of high harmonics, have been shown to strongly depend on the stabilization.
