23 results about "Raman amplification" patented technology

Raman amplification /ˈrɑːmən/ is based on the stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) phenomenon, when a lower frequency 'signal' photon induces the inelastic scattering of a higher-frequency 'pump' photon in an optical medium in the nonlinear regime. As a result of this, another 'signal' photon is produced, with the surplus energy resonantly passed to the vibrational states of the medium. This process, as with other stimulated emission processes, allows all-optical amplification. Optical fiber is today mostly used as the nonlinear medium for SRS, for telecom purposes; in this case it is characterized by a resonance frequency downshift of ~11 THz (corresponding to a wavelength shift at ~1550 nm of ~90 nm). The SRS amplification process can be readily cascaded, thus accessing essentially any wavelength in the fiber low-loss guiding windows (both 1310 and 1550). In addition to applications in nonlinear and ultrafast optics, Raman amplification is used in optical telecommunications, allowing all-band wavelength coverage and in-line distributed signal amplification.

The wavelength-tunable cascaded random Raman fiber laser is injected into the single-mode fiber I through the WDM II. This multi-wavelength Brillouin and Raman random fiber laser based on tunable broadband Raman pumping provides a 1.45μm tunable broadband Raman pump source by back-Raman amplification of the broadband seed light. Working together with the 1.5μm Brillouin pump, it can achieve ultra-wideband multi-wavelength random fiber laser output. By simultaneously tuning the output wavelengths of the Brillouin pump and the Raman pump, wavelength tuning of the broadband multi-wavelength random fiber laser can be achieved.
