Analysis of the conversion to the first Stokes in cladding-pumped fiber Raman amplifiers
Significance of output:
This work, within EPSRC project EP/E027318/1 (ended in 2010), is significant because of the energy-efficient operation obtained in a simple low-cost wavelength conversion scheme, and because we show how several important issues critical for commercial implementation, can be overcome. Furthermore we derive several rigorous and approximate key expressions important in particular for fibre design.
