The diffraction method is used to study the properties of laser radiation interacting with a gas-cluster plasma. Based on the simulation of propagation a laser beam with a wavelength 800 nm through a hexagon Cu-mesh and subsequently compared with the obtained experimental diffraction pattern, the contribution of the second harmonic to the laser radiation was considered. The capability of this method to reveal the spectral composition of laser radiation is discussed. Also, the dependence of the visibility of the diffraction pattern on the intensity of the laser beam is considered. Besides, the contribution of x-ray radiation generated from the laser-cluster interaction into the observed diffraction pattern signal was estimated.
