Statistics of polarization-dependent gain in fiber-based Raman amplifiers.

چکیده
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 case of backward pumping.

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 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...
متن کاملInvestigation of Scalar Modulation Instability in the Presence of Raman Scattering in Photonic Crystal Fibers
In this paper, by including Raman scattering in the coupled-mode equations, the scalar modulation instability in photonic crystal fibers is investigated. The evolution of the pump, Stokes and anti-Stokes waves along the fiber as well as the conversion efficiency for two cases, with and without Raman effect, are studied. The effect of anti-Stokes seed and the pump depletion on the evolution of S...
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 کاملInformation Assurance and System Survivability in All-optical Networks
All-Optical Networks (AON) are unique in that they support many optical wavelengths using optical amplifiers, optical add/drop multiplexers and optical switches or cross-connects. In addition, AON’s provide islands of transparency reaching 1500km or more. For AON’s service disruption is most easily achieved in the optical amplifiers, while the tapping or eavesdropping is most easily achieved th...
