Fig. 1. The pre-pulse measured by the calibrated fast diode (solid blue) and a linear fit (dotted red).

Fig. 2. (a) A simplified experimental scheme and (b) the single vertical probe beam path at the target position.

Fig. 3. An image captured by the streak camera (left top) and laser signals along the vertical line on the image (right bottom) are shown.

Fig. 4. A modified M–Z interferometer setup.

Fig. 5. Interferogram and phase maps. The red dotted line in (a) indicates the original target–vacuum interface.

Fig. 6. A cylindrical geometry and the Abel transformation variables.

Fig. 7. Two dimensional plasma density $(\text{cm}^{-3})$ profile extracted from the interferogram shown in Figure 5 . The white color indicates densities below $5\times 10^{18}~\text{cm}^{-3}$ .
