1. A method of using a laser system, the method comprising:

  • (a) emitting at least one laser pulse;

    (b) shaping the pulse with a phase-only modulator;

    (c) separating the pulse into at least two replica subpulses by using a phase in the modulator that interacts with at least two frequency subsets of the pulse, each subset representing a pulse;

    (d) measuring a characteristic induced by at least one of the subpulses after step (c);

    (e) supplying a linear pulse function to only some pixels of the modulator for at least one of the subpulses; and

    (f) supplying a different phase function to other of the pixels of the modulator for at least another of the subpulses, simultaneously with step (e).
