title: Nonlinear propagation of negatively chirped pulses: Maximizing the peak intensity at the output of a fiber probe.
abstract: A simple phenomenological scaling behavior is found for the power dependence of the pulse width for negatively pre-chirped pulses propagating in a normally dispersive fiber; the consequences for maximizing nonlinear signals such as two-photon fluorescence excited at the fiber output are considered.
