Abstract
A simplified model to calculate the small-signal optical gain and noise fig ure of a multiwavelength backward-pumped fiber Raman amplifier under triang le Raman profile approximation is developed for the first time. The applica tion of the developed model in pump optimization design for flattening the gain spectrum profile is also discussed.
