Output pulse energy from pulsed single-mode fiber amplifiers

There is a lack of general study of the maximum pulse energy from fiber amplifiers with short durations (up to few hundreds of nanoseconds) that are limited by amplified spontaneous emission, which slows inversion growth and degrades pulse contrast. We have conducted a systematic study of a monolith...
