The methods of shaping picosecond laser pulses with periodic intensity modulation tunable in frequency and depth are considered. Schemes for shaping modulated pulses "in-line" and with one output port are proposed. A picosecond modulation of the time envelope for IR laser pulses using a polarization interferometer is demonstrated experimentally. Shaping of modulated laser pulses of the UV range is shown by numerical modeling. The possibility to control the modulation depth of the fourth harmonic under the combined impact of material dispersion and nonlinear conversion in a classical collinear scheme of the fourth harmonic generation without distortion of the 3D pulse shape is demonstrated.
