Investigation on the Effect of Gain Medium on the Performance of Double-pass Raman Amplifier

The Raman gain characteristics of the double-pass Raman amplifier (RA) is investigated for different gain medium. The double-pass operation is obtained by using an optical circulator at the end the gain medium to act as a loop mirror. The double-pass RA is experimentally demonstrated to enhance an o...
