Optimization of ultrafast Yb-doped fiber amplifiers to achieve high-quality compressed pulses

We both numerically and experimentally study the performance of nonlinear Yb-doped fiber amplifiers, and demonstrate that there exists an optimum negative prechirp that produces the best-quality compressed pulses.
