Accurate simulation of Raman amplified lightwave synthesized frequency sweeper

Frequency noise in frequency swept fiber laser

“…However, there also is a drawback: since any time dependencies are disregarded, information on the shape of the individual pulses is lost. Using time-dependent rate equations to describe the LSFS was used in [10] and excellent agreement between simulations and measurements, even on the individual pulses, was found. This agreement, however, came at the expense of longer computation time.…”
