Abstract

It has been experimentally shown that when light pulses propagate in active neodymium glass fibers, a decrease of amplified pulse length almost by a factor of two is observed at a fiber length of 1 m. The study of the amplification process of an ultrashort laser pulse train by a glass fiber quantum amplifier showed that the main reason of the nanosecond light pulse compression is a recombination of the short-lifetime colouring centers due to the absorption of the front of the light pulse. Experimental results are presented concerning light pulse compression at various excitation levels of active glass fibers.
