Abstract :
We numerically analyzed the effect of the space-time coupling, especially the influence of slight misalignment of optics, on the shaped pulse profiles. Furthermore, we propose a novel method to characterize the spatio-temporal profile of shaped pulses and also a cascaded spatio-temporal shaping scheme
