Abstract :
We explore the combined effects of nonlinearity and gain-guidance on the propagation and amplification of high power parabolic pulses within fibers. By choosing a suitable gain coefficient, group-velocity dispersion profile, and fiber size one can increase output power and reduce the time-bandwidth product of pulses.
