Abstract
Temporal and spatial optical field distributions of a stepped pulse on the hohlraum wall are
numerically analyzed using fast-Fourier-transform method combined with chromatographic theory. Changes in the
rising edge of the stepped pulse caused by spatio-temporal effect are systematically studied. Results
demonstrate that a certain time difference exists for the laser to reach the hohlraum wall because of oblique
incidence, which causes distortion to the stepped pulse, especially to the rising edge. Influences of the
incident angle, focal length, and width of the input rising edge on distortion degree of the stepped pulse are
also discussed. This letter provides some guidance for targeting pulse shaping and synchronization.
