Fig. 5: Influence of the pulse shape on the holeboring dynamic.
From: Time-resolved study of holeboring in realistic experimental conditions
a Different pulse shapes used to calculate the holeboring velocity, including an ideal Gaussian pulse (yellow), the experimentally measured incoming pulse (blue) and an arbitrary non-ideal intensity distribution (black). b The instantaneous wavelength, using a scale length of 0.83 μm for the different pulse shapes and the measured instantaneous wavelength, given by the dashed red line and the corresponding peak-to-valley uncertainty, given by the shaded area.
