A nonuniform plasma Bragg grating with a monotonically increasing density-modulation profile can be naturally produced by two Gaussian laser pulses counterpropagating through a homogeneous plasma slab. Such a plasma grating exhibits a nonuniform photonic band gap with a monotonically increasing width. It can be used to compress a positively or negatively chirped pulse. Particle-in-cell simulations show that the compressed pulse has nearly no energy loss and the compression efficiency can exceed 90%.
