Title:
ALL-FIBER CHIRPED PULSE AMPLIFICATION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2012103716
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To compensate third-order dispersion in chirped pulse amplification systems.
By compensating polarization mode dispersion and 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, low noise wavelength tunable seed source via anti-Stokes frequency shifting can be obtained.
