Abstract
Specific features of the formation of frequency-modulated pulses with large peak powers in amplifier-modulator-compressor cascade schemes based on length-inhomogeneous optic fibers are considered. Optimum profiles of fiber parameters ensuring the most effective amplification and modulation of pico- and subpicosecond frequency-modulated pulses are proposed. It is established that the use of a cascade consisting of active (gain) and passive (modulating) fibers with optimized profiles of the normal group-velocity dispersion and mode area can ensure the formation of pico- and subpicosecond pulses with energies higher than 100 nJ and peak powers above 100 kW.
