Pump intensity averaging and nondegenerate four-wave mixing effects in a backward Raman amplifier using multiple pump beams

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A Raman amplifier pumped by many independent pump beams propagating at slight angles to the input Stokes beam can give a very uniform gain for the Stokes by averaging the intensity fluctuations in the pump beams.1,2 Each pair of pump waves interferes to give a gratinglike intensity variation in space which appears to the Stokes wave as a nonuniform gain.
