Abstract

Using inverse scattering transform theory, we obtain new analytical expressions describing the process of parametric amplification by ultrashort pulses. We show that the result of parametric amplification of a small signal pulse by an intense pump wave does not depend on the shape of the pump. The output is determined solely by the intensity of any TWI-solitons contained in the pump.
