Abstract
AbstractWe demonstrate higher saturation powers for Raman and fiber optical parametric-cascaded amplifier (FOPA). Analysis of Raman-parametric amplifier cascade has been done for saturated gain regime. The second-order dispersion analysis of cascaded amplifier has been in the saturation region. Comparisons have been made with conventional parametric amplifiers in both single pump and dual pump. Results show 14 dB gain enhancement in saturation power for proposed cascade. Uniform gain for careful optimized values of dispersion has been observed in saturated region with minimum gain value enhanced by 10 dB than dual-pump parametric amplifier. This is important for exploring Raman–FOPA hybrid amplifiers for high-power, long-haul wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) systems.
