ABSTRACT:
A short pulse fiber laser amplification system includes a special fiber stretcher, managed preamplifier, managed amplifier chain, and managed compressor to control an increase of a passive dispersion by managing a third order dispersion (TOD) to a group velocity dispersion (GVD) ratio for matching a nonlinearity chirp. In an exemplary embodiment, the TOD to GVD ratio is managed between approximately 1.5 to 15 fs to match a nonlinearity in range between 1π to 10π. In another exemplary embodiment, the TOD to GVD ratio is managed between approximately 15 to 705 fs to match a nonlinearity in range between 1π to 50π.
