Spun fiber Raman amplifiers with reduced polarization impairments

Abstract: We report a novel vector model of Raman amplification in a fiber with randomly varying birefringence and unidirectional spin profile. Applying the model, we demonstrate for the first time simultaneous mitigation of polarization mode dispersion and polarization dependence of the Raman gain.

“…As a result, the Raman gain depends only on the relative orientation between the input signal and the pump SOPs, which is not changing along the length of the isotropic fiber: co-polarized pump and signal waves give the upper limit of maximum Raman gain and cross-polarized waves result in the lower limit of minimum gain as a function of the PMD value. Finally, maximum and minimum PDGs converge and approach the upper limit of PDG which can exceed 20 dB [13].…”

“…For a fiber with random birefringence (SM fiber), the input and output PSPs are different. In view of this, we demonstrated experimentally and theoretically in our previous publications that, similar to PM fibers, PDG in SM fibers takes on its maximum value if the pump SOP is oriented along a PSP, and a small minimum one (different from zero) if the pump SOP is equally shared initially between the PSPs [12][13][14][15]. However, a SM fiber with PMD suppressed by periodic spinning becomes isotropic, i.e., without absolute anisotropy axis with reference to the whole fiber.…”
