Abstract
Recent advances in fabrication of chirped fiber gratings made possible the development of compact and robust femtosecond chirped pulse amplification (CPA) systems, based on all-fiber design.1 The group-velocity dispersion of chirped wide-bandwidth fiber gratings is ~105 times larger than that of standard fibers and allows to reach large stretching/compression ratios within a short length (1-10 cm) of a fiber. Due to the reduced propagation distance, nonlinear distortions of compressed pulses are expected at significantly high energies.
