In this work we study the utilisation of silicon nitride target as a plasma shutter for laser pulse contrast enhancement in the sub picosecond time domain with realistic parameters with the help of numerical 2D3V particle-in-cell simulations [8] and effects of pulse modification caused by its propagation through the plasma shutter on acceleration of ions from the second target located behind the plasma shutter.
