Analysis of Raman Amplification in a Practical, Low-Loss, Photonic Crystal Fiber

摘要

This paper analyses the use of an existing, lowloss, photonic crystal fiber for Raman amplification over the wide low-loss window of silica fibers. We show that the low attenuation of the studied fiber would allow for high net gains to be achieved both in the O- and C-bands, enabling its use in commercial systems.
