(color online) (a) The schematic diagram of experimental setup and (b) the measured laser pulse shape. The laser beam was directly ablating the iron stepped target with a flat intensity spot of a diameter of 1 mm. Two VISARs with different velocity sensitivities were used to record the velocity profile of the rear surface of iron.
