In what follows, all chirps are given as defined in `S. Akturk et al., Optics Express 12, 4399 (2004) <https://doi.org/10.1364/OPEX.12.004399>`__.

* ``<laser name>.beta`` (`float`) optional (default `0.`)
Angular dispersion (or angular chirp) at focus.
Angular dispersion (or angular chirp) at focus in second.

* ``<laser name>.zeta`` (`float`) optional (default `0.`)
Spatial chirp at focus.
Spatial chirp at focus in second*meter.

* ``<laser name>.phi2`` (`float`) optional (default `pi/2`)
Temporal chirp :math:`\phi^{(2)}` at focus.
Temporal chirp :math:`\phi^{(2)}` at focus in second^2.
Namely, a wave packet centered on the frequency :math:`(\omega_0 + \delta \omega)` will reach its peak intensity at :math:`z(\delta \omega) = z_0 - c \phi^{(2)} \, \delta \omega`.
Thus, a positive :math:`\phi^{(2)}` corresponds to positive chirp, i.e., red part of the spectrum in the front of the pulse and blue part of the spectrum in the back.
More specifically, the electric field in the focal plane is of the form:
