Extreme optical fluctuations in lumped Raman fibre amplifiers
نویسندگان
چکیده
A numerical study about the generation of extreme events in lumped Raman fibre amplifier is performed. Evolutions of continuous or pulsed signals are analysed using crosscorrelations, spectra and probability density functions. For pulsed signals, the phase evolution is also explored. Both signal and Stokes cascaded waves are considered.

Experimental signatures of extreme optical fluctuations in lumped Raman fiber amplifiers
In this work, we experimentally investigate several temporal and spectral methods to highlight extreme fluctuations which can develop during the Raman amplification of an ultrashort pulse train. Forward and backward pumping schemes are compared to dual pass configurations.
متن کاملNoise Figure Analysis Of Distributed Fibre Raman Amplifier
Fibre Raman amplifiers are being deployed in many new long-haul and ultra long-haul fibre-optic transmission systems, making them the first and most widely commercialized nonlinear optical devices in telecommunications. One of the main reasons for this is their improved noise figure and reduced nonlinear penalty of fibre systems hence allowing for longer amplifier spans. In this paper, we have ...
متن کاملExtreme statistics in Raman fiber amplifiers : influence of pump depletion and dispersion
We experimentally and theoretically investigate the influence of pump depletion effects on extreme statistics observed in fiber Raman amplifiers. We also report on the impact of the dispersion of the fiber. OCIS codes: (060.4370) Nonlinear optics, fibers; (060.2320) Fiber optics amplifiers.
متن کاملRaman Spectra of a PMMA Microstructured Optical Fibre and Direct Measurement of Its Gain Coefficient
A polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microstructured polymer optical fiber (mPOF) is fabricated and characterized. Using the cut-back technique the fiber loss is measured which is higher than the step-index silica fibers. Through a novel experimental scheme, the backward Stokes spectrum of the fabricated mPOF is recorded over a range exceeding 3000 cm‑1 during the cut-back method and compared ...
متن کاملVector theory of stimulated Raman scattering and its application to fiber-based Raman amplifiers
A vector theory of the stimulated Raman scattering process is developed for describing the polarization effects in fiber-based Raman amplifiers. We use this theory to show that polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) induces large fluctuations in an amplified signal. It is found that PMD-induced fluctuations follow a log-normal distribution. We also discuss the random nature of the polarization-depe...
