Abstract :
An all-fiber self-similar amplifier generating 37-fs transform-limited pulses with 23.5-W average power is demonstrated. The spectral-breathing behavior of negatively-chirped pulses during amplification can avoid gain-shaping disturbance and accelerate self-similar evolution in a high-gain short-length fiber.
