Abstract
Stimulated Raman scattering has become a serious limitation to high-power fiber-grating compression of optical pulses.1 In compression experiments, the fiber Is usually much longer than the walkoff distance in which a generated Raman Stokes pulse2 will separate from a pump pulse by group-velocity dispersion. In this work we use several experiments to build up a picture of the source of the Stokes pulse in the fiber and Its Initial pulse length as well as to establish a procedure for accurately predicting the threshold power.
