  • Abstract
    Femtosecond pulse amplification in Er3+-doped single-mode optical fibres has been experimentally investigated. The effect of amplified pulse compression from 80 to 55 fs has been observed. The amplified pulse energy was evaluated as 5 nJ. Maximum gain for the amplified signal was 26 dB.
