TI  - Chirped-pulse amplification in XeCl.
PG  - 1686-8
AB  - By using a 0.25-ps nearly transform-limited pulse and both 16- and 75-ps strongly 
      chirped pulses of the same bandwidth, measurements of the effective saturation 
      fluence (E(sat)) of a XeCl discharge amplifier have been performed. We find that 
      while E(sat) for the 16-ps pulse is comparable with that of the 0.25-ps pulse, 
      pulse stretching to a width of 75 ps increases the effective E(sat) by 35%. 
      However, the measured values of E(sat) for the 16- and 75-ps pulses are 
      significantly less than would be expected for transform-limited pulses of the 
      same pulse widths. A simple rate-equation model, which takes into account 
      variation of the small-signal gain across the gain bandpass and which assumes 
      that E(sat) is enhanced for the longer pulse widths only by population decay of 
      the lower electronic state, predicts the measured values of E(sat) to within the 
      experimental error.
