This thesis presents a detailed study of different advanced Raman fibre laser (RFL) based
amplification schemes and the development of novel broadband distributed and discrete …

Due to the growing demand for transmission capacity, it has become essential to utilize
multiple wavelength domains in one transmission system. To take full advantage of parallel …

Fundamental noise limitations of distributed quantum amplifiers are discussed. For Raman
amplifier pumps to signals noise transfer, Rayleigh backscattering and polarization …

We have introduced the comprehensive optical-to-noise ratio (OSNR) to investigate
simultaneously the effects of all three major linear noise sources in distributed Raman fiber …

We describe the use of a phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometer () over an ultra-
long Raman fiber laser (URFL) cavity allowing fully distributed detection of vibrations over …

In this paper, a novel frequency domain model to compute the pump to signal relative
intensity noise (RIN) transfer in multi-pump Raman fiber amplifiers (RFAs) is proposed. The …

This chapter discusses some basic considerations upon which to build the fundamentals of
ultralong Raman fiber lasers (URFLs). It starts from the simplest possible configuration for …

This thesis presents a numerical and experimental investigation on applications of ultralong
Raman fibre lasers in optical communications, supercontinuum generation and soliton …

Рамановские усилители развертываются во многих новых волоконнооптических
системах передачи на большие и сверхдальние расстояния, что делает их первыми и …

In this paper we study the effect of ultra-long cavity design (length, pumping, grating
reflectivity) on the transfer of RIN to the signal, demonstrating how the impact of noise can be …
