Abstract: This research proposed a novel pulse -shaping design for directly shaping distorted pulses after the amplification. Based on the principle of the design we made a pulse shaper. With this pulse shaper, we successfully manipulate the pulse's leading edge and width to achieve an 'M' -shaped waveform in an amplification system. Comparative experiments were conducted within this system to compare the output with and without the integration of the pulse shaper. The results show a significant suppression of the nonlinear effect upon adding the pulse shaper. This flexible and effective pulse shaper can be easily integrated into a high -power all -fiber system, supplying the capability to realize the desired output waveform and enhance the spectral quality.
