    Chirped-pulse amplification near the gain-narrowing limit of Yb-doped fiber using a reflection grism compressor

    We report a numerical and experimental study of chirped-pulse amplification of femtosecond pulses near the gain narrowing limit of Yb-doped fiber. We show that a strongly inhomogeneous lineshape provides a goo...

    Chirped-Pulse Amplifiaction with a Fiber Stretcher and a Grism Compressor

    We demonstrate chirped-pulse amplification of femtosecond pulses using a fiber stretcher. We use a grism pair to achieve the highest single-stage compression factor (750) ever obtained from a fiber.

    Compensation of SPM-Induced Pulse Distortions in Chirped-Pulse Amplification Systems

    Recently Perry et al [1] showed that self-phase modulation (SPM) in CPA lasers can degrade the quality of the compressed pulse. Even in the absence of spectral broadening, a B-integral of ~1 can produce uncompres...
