摘要：

A study of chirped-pulse amplification in the presence of large nonlinear phase shifts (as large as similar to 12 pi) and finite gain bandwidth is presented. Numerical simulations that include the effect of nonlinearity, group-velocity dispersion, higher-order dispersion, and finite gain bandwidth predict the spectral signature of the interplay of nonlinearity with gain shaping. Experimental results obtained for up to similar to 0.4 mu J pulse energies from a Yb fiber amplifier agree with the numerical calculations. (c) 2006 Optical Society of America.
