Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
By compensating polarization mode-dispersion as well chromatic dispersion in photonic crystal fiber pulse compressors, high pulse energies can be obtained from all-fiber chirped pulse amplification systems. By inducing third-order dispersion in fiber amplifiers via self-phase modulation, the third-order chromatic dispersion from bulk grating pulse compressors can be compensated and the pulse quality of hybrid fiber/bulk chirped pulse amplification systems can be improved. Finally, by amplifying positively chirped pulses in negative dispersion fiber amplifiers, a low noise wavelength tunable seed source via anti-Stokes frequency shifting can be obtained.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A fiber chirped pulse amplification system, comprising; a seed source generating optical pulses; a pulse stretcher for temporally stretching pulses from said seed source thereby generating chirped optical pulses; a non-linear amplifier disposed downstream from said pulse stretcher and arranged to receive and amplify chirped optical pulses, said non-linear amplifier configured to generate substantial self-phase modulation and corresponding non-linear phas…
