Time-domain pulse property of stimulated Raman scattering in a multimode optical fiber

The time-domain pulse property of quasi-steady stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in a multimode optical fiber, pumped by an A-O Q-switched Nd: YAG laser, is studied both experimentally and theoretically. Good agreement has been achieved between theory and experiment. Discussion shows that the variation of the Stokes pulse width (FWHM)t_s depends on the shape of input pump pulse.
