Abstract:
Backward Raman amplification is applied to improve the conversion efficiency of two-orthogonal-pump four-wave mixing (FWM) with polarization insensitivity. Wavelength conversion with ~0dB efficiency and negligible polarization dependency is demonstrated by using a common highly nonlinear fiber without pump dithering. The conversion efficiency is increased by ~29dB with Raman enhancement. We also discuss the impact of the Raman pump power and the FWM pump powers on the performance of wavelength conversion. The results indicate that moderate pump powers without inducing significant spontaneous noise and stimulated Brillouin scattering are favorable to ensure high conversion efficiency and low excess noise for performance optimization.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
