Data for article entitled: Gain-managed nonlinear amplification in an Erbium-doped fiber

The files include the data presented in the manuscript "Gain-managed nonlinear amplification in an Erbium-doped fiber" by M. Krakowski and G. Soboń.Figure 2 presents the characterization of the seed pulses of the gain-managed amplifier: the optical spectra and pulse autocorrelationFigure 3 presents the spectral and temporal evolution of the output pulse spectrum from the GMN amplifier for the 1530 nm seedFigure 4 presents the broad span measurement of the optical spectrum generated by the GMN amplifier seeded at 1530 nm at maximal available pump powerFigure 5 presents the spectral and temporal evolution of the output pulse spectrum from the GMN amplifier for the 1560 nm seedFigure 6 presents the Autocorrelation traces of the compressed pulses for the 1530 nm and 1560 nm seed, recorded at various pump powers.Figure 7 presents the FROG characterization of the compressed pulses at the highest pump power: a) temporal intensity along with the temporal phase for 1530 nm seed; b) FROG-retrieved spectrum along with the spectral phase for 1530 nm seed; c) Measured and retrieved FROG spectrograms for 1530 nm seed; d) temporal intensity along with the temporal phase for 1560 nm seed; e) FROG retrieved spectrum along with the spectral phase for 1560 nm seed; f) Measured and retrieved FROG spectrograms for 1560 nm seed.Figure 8 presents a comparison of the optical spectra of the GMN amplifier output with different seed signals: directly from the oscillator, and with conditioned seed, i.e. with cut-out Kelly’s sidebands.
