Abstract

By considering propagation equations of Stokes-waves for the Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) and the Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) together with propagation-rate equations of Ytterbium-doped double-clad fiber amplifiers, we numerically solve set of coupled partial differential equations and investigate dynamic characteristics of these amplifiers such as the temporal pulse energy, power, upper-level population distribution, amplified spontaneous emission, stored energy, pulse waveform evolution and the threshold of inelastic scatterings in different regimes of the temporal pulse width, input pulse peak power, input pulse bandwidth and repetition rates. Based on our analysis we establish some criteria for the threshold of inelastic scatterings according to characteristics of the input pulse and amplifying regime. Also for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, we discuss effect of the input pulse shape on the threshold of inelastic scatterings and importance of using pulse shaping methods.
