    AFGC scheme. Gratings in each pair are parallel and identical. Distances between the gratings , groove densities and incidence angles are different in different pairs.
    Schematic representation of the field after propagation in free space (a), the TC (b) and the AFGC (c), (d) in three domains. Solid magenta lines depict the intensity front.
    One-dimensional fluence fluctuation spectrum at the AFGC output for a pulse having duration (). The difference between the colored and black curves shows the efficiency of fluence smoothing at a given . The efficiency of small-scale self-focusing suppression for a pulse with duration will be equal to the efficiency of fluence smoothing (see the text).
