Abstract

A method for obtaining intense ultrashort laser pulses with a given phase front has been proposed. This method is based on Raman backscattering in a plasma and makes it possible to specify the phase of laser pulses with a duration from 100 fs and an intensity up to one-tenth of the relativistic intensity.
