An effective numerical method for gain profile optimizations of multi pumped fiber Raman amplifiers

In this paper, we have solved propagation equations of multi-pump fiber Raman amplifier using Runge–Kutta (RK 4th order) numerical method and pump power evolutions along with the fiber length. They are used to calculate the net gain and gain ripple by varying the input signals powers for different fiber lengths. The pump powers are optimized by genetic algorithm and resulting net gain and gain ripple are reported graphically as well as in tabular form. The optimum minimum gain ripple is 0.26 dB for 1 mW input signal powers for 50 km fiber length. By increasing the fiber length gain ripple increases to 0.5 dB for 0.1 mW input signal power. In comparison to other methods reported in the literature, our method is simple to implement and efficient for numerical design of Raman amplification in optical communication systems.     

Pump-to-Stokes RIN transfer in Raman fiber lasers and its impact on the performance of co-pumped Raman amplifiers

We show experimentally and numerically that pump-to-Stokes transfer of relative intensity noise (RIN) makes a significant contribution to the output RIN of Raman fiber lasers (RFLs). We theoretically investigate the penalty in the signal-quality factor induced by a noisy RFL pump in a co-pumped Raman-amplified transmission span, where the noise on the RFL output is caused by pump-to-Stokes transfer of RIN. This penalty can be kept low by a proper design of the RFL, in particular by using high-reflectivity output couplers, high-gain Raman fibers and optimizing the RFL fiber length.
