Single-shot diagnostics for spatiotemporal laser-plasma evolution by the multi-dimensional encoding (MuDE) holography

We proposed a single-shot diagnostic for spatiotemporal laser-plasma evolution by the multi-dimensional encoding (MuDE) holography. It can achieves high and adjustable temporal resolution measurement of three-dimensional plasma distribution without delay scanning. Experimentally, we verified the feasibility of this technique, and the retrieved results of laser-plasma evolution agreed well with the direct shadow measurement. This technique is expected to provide a helpful tool for the complex spatiotemporal evolution of plasma in ICF and high energy density physics.
