✦ Synopsis

We report a new theoretical approach-the spectral perturbations method-which offers opportunities to analyze the evolution of the femtosecond soliton parameters in fiber amplifiers with inhomogeneously and homogeneously broadened lines. We show that the physical mechanism of the amplification line broadening does not affect significantly the output soliton parameters provided that the saturation effect is negligible. Analytical results are supported by computer simulations.
