Numerical simulations of Yb3+-doped, pulsed fiber amplifiers: Comparison with experiment

Farrow, Roger L.; Moore, S.W.; Schrader, Paul E.; Smith, A.V.

We have developed a numerical simulation of cw-pumped Yb3+-doped fiber amplifiers seeded by pulses at 1064 nm. Results compare well to measurements of longitudinal upper-level ion populations and of output pulse energy versus pump power. © 2008 Optical Society of America.
