Statistics of polarization-dependent gain in fiber-based Raman amplifiers.
We develop an analytic model for finding the statistics of polarization-dependent gain (PDG) in fiber-based Raman amplifiers. We use it to find an analytic form for the probability distribution of PDG and study how the mean PDG and the variance of PDG fluctuations depend on the PMD parameter. We show that mean PDG as well as PDG fluctuations are reduced by approximately a factor of 30 in the ca...
متن کاملModeling backward-pumped Raman amplifiers
We describe a robust shooting algorithm to model backward-pumped Raman amplifiers. This algorithm uses a continuation method and a Jacobi weight in conjunction with the shooting algorithm. We compare this algorithm to the commonly used relaxation algorithm. We find that the shooting algorithm is more flexible, in that it can be applied to amplifiers in which one fixes the gain, in contrast to t...
متن کاملPolarization Independent Raman-Assisted Fiber Optical Parametric Amplifiers
We propose and demonstrate a polarization independent Raman-assisted fiber optical parametric amplifier using depolarized Raman and parametric pumps. The polarization dependent gain fluctuation has been reduced from >10 dB to less than 1 dB.
متن کاملTemperature-dependent gain and noise in fiber Raman amplifiers.
An experimental investigation of the temperature dependence of the gain and noise performance of a silica-fiber Raman amplifier is described. A decrease in the Raman scattering cross section in a fiber amplifier cooled from a temperature of 300 K to 77 K was measured and found to be in agreement with theoretical values. No difference between the Raman gain coefficients at these two temperatures...
متن کاملRaman-noise induced noise-figure limit for χ parametric amplifiers
The non-zero response time of the Kerr (χ) nonlinearity determines the quantum-limited noise figure of χ parametric amplifiers. This non-zero response time of the nonlinearity requires coupling of the parametric amplification process to a molecular-vibration phonon bath, causing the addition of excess noise through Raman gain or loss at temperatures above 0K. The effect of this excess noise on ...
