Abstract

The investigations of the influence of various types of wavefront distortions, varying in time, on the intensity distribution on the surface of a target are carried out. It is shown that distortions of a wavefront, equivalent to transverse displacement in time of a beam in far field at an angle of approximately 10 diffraction angles, results in practically full smoothing of a specl-structure of intensity distribution. Creation of phase distortions of a beam assigned as running in a cross section wave with an amplitude of more than 3 radian and with a spatial size exceeding 20–30 times the size of the kinoform phase plate element, permits us to reduce the depth of modulation in distribution of intensity in far field also. The capability of application is considered as a smoothing device of the dynamic plasma layer, based on the volume-structured medium. The model of energy transport process in such media is developed. Matching of calculation and experimental results is conducted.
