title: Simple model for amplified spontaneous emission in a Ti:A1(2)O(3) amplifier.
abstract: The influence of amplified spontaneous emission on the time-dependent gain of a laser amplifier is considered by using a simple model. Experimental measurements of Ti:A1(2)O(3) amplifier gain are in excellent agreement with the model.
