Abstract :
We combine steady-state propagation-rate equation and generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation to accurately model high-repetition rate femtosecond Yb-fiber amplifiers. Such modeling reveals the nonlinear-evolution dynamics of the amplified pulse and allows the optimization of the compressed-pulse quality.
