Abstract
Limitations in the parabolic amplification regime have been investigated mainly taking into account the impact of Raman scattering and finite gain bandwidth [1,2]. We study the influence of higher-order spectral phase on the quality of recompressed parabolic pulses. Using a hybrid prisms-gratings (or Grisms) compressor to optimize the third-order spectral phase, we show an improvement of the temporal Strehl ratio, time-bandwidth product, and pulse width.
