Nonlinear absorption and carrier dynamics in slab-coupled optical waveguide amplifiers

Limitations imposed on the saturation energy of high-power slab-coupled optical waveguide amplifiers were studied for pulsed signal transmission. Loss due to the two-photon absorption and free-carrier absorption processes becomes a dominant factor for ultrashort-pulse amplification, leading to lower...
