Fibre Raman amplifiers for broadband operation at 1.3 μm

A high-power fibre laser operating at 1.24 μm was used to provide broad band Raman gain around 1.3 μm in compact, efficient, silica fibre-amplifier configurations. The gain and noise performances of these broad band amplifiers are described, as well as the mechanism for further increasing and flatte...

Description
Summary:	A high-power fibre laser operating at 1.24 μm was used to provide broad band Raman gain around 1.3 μm in compact, efficient, silica fibre-amplifier configurations. The gain and noise performances of these broad band amplifiers are described, as well as the mechanism for further increasing and flattening the operational bandwidth.
