Stimulated Amplification of a Broad-Band Optical Signal Through a Benzene-Core Fiber System Pumped by Ultra-Short Laser Pulses.

摘要

This paper presents a novel approach to amplify a broad-band optical signal by using stimulated Rayleigh Kerr scattering in a hollow core fiber system filled with liquid benzene. Using 4 ps dye laser pulses as the pump source, stimulated amplification of the accompanying approx. 550 per cm broad spontaneous emission is achieved with an amplification factor reaching 23,000.
