Abstract

A self-phase modulation at amplification of temporary overlapped chirped pulses is investigated. The analytical and numerical calculations are used to predict the effects of prepulse intensity increasing and additional satellites arising after recompression as well as the effects of spectrum broadening and shape distortion of the pulses. The experimental results are presented that agree well with the calculations.
