Self-stimulated Raman scattering suppression and supercontinuum generation in birefringent fibers

Abstract

The nonlinear propagation of intense short laser pulses in single-mode optical fibers is governed by the interaction of group velocity dispersion (GVD), self- and crossphase modulation (SPM, CPM), and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS). In the normal dispersion regime, these effects are relevant to fiber grating compression experiments and have been investigated for picosecond pulses.1 Whenever subpicosecond pulses are involved, the spectral broadening of the pump may reach the peak Raman gain frequency shift of 440 cm−1, so that pump and Stokes waves lose their separate identity.2 As a consequence of the spectral redistribution of the pump power over a large frequency range, a substantial increase in the self-stimulated Raman scattering threshold is predicted by theory.3
