Abstract
We consider general principles of spectral compression of parabolic pulses in nonlinear optical fibers. It is known that the variance analysis provides a way to describe correctly the evolution of the pulse parameters under the spectral compression. We propose a computational model of multistage amplifier with spectral compression segments incorporated. The model provides the possibility to amplify middle-power input pulses to obtain pulse energies of hundreds of nanojoules with such output spectral characteristics that provide the possibility for further effective enhancement. We also discuss a modification of the model that provides the formation of a parabolic envelope and linear frequency modulation of the output pulse.
