Abstract
We present an analytic model to describe the Polarization Dependent Gain (PDG) in fiber Raman amplifiers. We find simple analytical expressions that express the mean and the variance of PDG as a function of pump degree of polarization and polarization mode dispersion of the optical fiber for forward and backward pumping. Our results are in agreement with experiments previously reported.
