Fig. 5: Schematic drawing of time series of laser pulses.
From: Observation of sub-relativistic collisionless shock generation and breakout dynamics
The temporal separation between consecutive seed pulses is 12.5 ns. Within the regeneration cavity (Regen), the round-trip time is 10 ns. When the selected seed pulses are injected into the regeneration cavity (via Pockels cell I), they are accompanied by leakage pulses. The contrast of the amplified laser pulse can be controlled by the switching time of the second Pockels cell (Pockels cell II).
