파장 1.06$\mu\textrm{m}$ Nd:YAG 펌프레이저의 인가에너지와 라만매질 CH4의 압력변화에 따른 전방과 후방 1.54$\mu\textrm{m}$ 유도라만 산란광(stimulated Raman scattering)의 출력 특성을 동시에 측정하여 전후방 유도라만 산란광 발생을 위한 1.06$\mu\textrm{m}$ 인가문턱 에너지, 라만변환의 기울기 효율 및 라만이득계수(Raman gain coefficient)의 측정값과 이론값을 비교 분석하였다. 압력1000 psi에서 후방 기울기 효율은 약 34%이고 전방은 약 18%를 보였다. 라만매질 CH4의 압력이 증가할수록 전방과 후방 라만이득은 비선형적으로 증가할 뿐만아니라, 후방 대 전방 라만이득비도 증가하였다. 압력 1200 psi 이상에서 후방 대 전방 라만이득비는 약 1.4배가 되었고, 압력 1400 psi에서 후방 라만이득계수는 0.32cm/GW이고 전방에서는 0.23cm/GW로 나타났다. 이와 같은 비대칭적 발생은 전방 라만증폭이 펌프광의 국부적 세기와 작용하는 반면 후방은 펌프광의 평균세기와 상호작용하기 때문이다.

Recent research efforts on study of silicon photonics utilizing stimulated Raman scattering have largely overlooked temperature effects. In this paper, we incorporated the temperature dependences into the key parameters governing wave propagation in silicon waveguides with Raman gain and investigated how the temperature affects the solution of the coupled-mode equations. We then carried out, as one particular application example, a numerical analysis of the performance of wavelength converters based on stimulated Raman scattering at temperatures ranging from 298 K to 500 K. The analysis predicted, among other things, that the wavelength conversion efficiency could decrease by as much as 12 dB at 500 K in comparison to that at the room temperature. These results indicate that it is necessary to take a careful account of temperature effects in designing, fabricating, and operating Raman silicon photonic devices.

This paper describes our design of a hybrid amplifier composed of a distributed Raman amplifier and erbium-doped fiber amplifiers for C- and L-bands. We characterize the distributed Raman amplifier by numerical simulation based on the experimentally measured Raman gain coefficient of an ordinary single mode fiber transmission line. In single channel amplification, the crosstalk caused by double Rayleigh scattering was independent of signal input power and simply given as a function of the Raman gain. The double Rayleigh scattering induced power penalty was less than 0.1 dB after 1000 km if the on-off Raman gain was below 21 dB. For multiple channel amplification, using commercially available pump laser diodes and fiber components, we determined and optimized the conditions of three-wavelength Raman pumping for an amplification bandwidth of 32 nm for C-band and 34 nm for L-band. After analyzing the conventional erbium-doped fiber amplifier analysis in C-band, we estimated the performance of the hybrid amplifier for long haul optical transmission. Compared with erbium-doped fiber amplifiers, the optical signal-to-noise ratio was calculated to be higher by more than 3 dB in the optical link using the designed hybrid amplifier.
