Abstract
A simple model of a multicascade fibre Raman laser is considered and analyt ic expressions are obtained for its output characteristics. The efficiency of the Raman laser is shown to be determined to a considerable extent by th e lumped optical loss of the cavity. A proposal is made to estimate the qua lity of optical fibres as an active medium for multicascade fibre Raman las ers from the efficiency of the model Raman laser.
