heal.abstract	We propose a method to compensate gain narrowing by use of the self-phase modulation effect in a femtosecond fiber chirped-pulse amplifier (CPA). An engineering rule is derived to determine the stretched pulse duration that allows this compensation. Simulations are carried out to validate this idea. A tradeoff is found between achievable pulse duration and output energy, but we show that	en
