    Simulated image of the first diffracted spot () in x with the linear regression to retrieve the slope .
    Camera image comparison for a FWHM Gaussian beam with FWHM Gaussian spectrum around and AD of : (left) simulated image; (right) experimental image.
    Retrieved versus simulated AD for a 50 nm FWHM Gaussian spectrum and 5 mm FWHM Gaussian beam for a different AD modulus.
    Influence on calibration and retrieved error of various beam parameters: (left) beam size FWHM; (right) spectral bandwidth FWHM.
    Influence on calibration and retrieved error of various beam parameters: (left) astigmatism; (right) chromatic defocus.
    Schematic of the experimental setup implemented in the front end of the FLAME laser system. BS, beam splitter; CCD, charge-coupled device camera; L, achromatic doublet; MK, diffractive mask.
    AD as a function of the introduced misalignment . Experimental results (ADexp) compared with the Kostenbauder matrix formalism simulation (ADth) simulating a misaligned double-pass grating compressor.
