Summary:A method for shaping periodic intensity distributions of strongly chirped picosecond laser pulses in the infrared range by periodic phase modulation of the spectrum is proposed. The dependence of the time modulation period and depth on the parameters of periodic phase modulation of the spectrum is analyzed by analytical and numerical methods. It is demonstrated that the intensity distribution structure obtained at second- and fourth-harmonic generation can be retained by introducing an angular chirp. The electron bunch dynamics at the photoinjector test facility at DESY in Zeuthen (PITZ) was modeled numerically using ellipsoidal laser pulses with intensity modulation.
