The propagation of an ultrashort optical pulse in a two-level laser amplifier
Abstract
The characteristics of a long two-level laser amplifier are established; that is, the dependence of the pulse structure at the amplifier output on the shape of the initiating pulse is determined. It is shown that the output pulse is always quasi-self-similar but the solution parameters in the long amplifier are determined exclusively by the front of the initiating pulse.
