FIG. 1.
(a) Evolution of the FWHM pulse duration (filled) and spectral bandwidth (open) in the cavity. The components of the laser are shown above the graphs. (b) The output pulse at the end of the gain fiber (solid) and a parabolic pulse with the same energy and peak power (dotted). Inset: spectrum. The orthogonally polarized pulse and spectrum (not shown) are essentially identical.
