TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of practically possible upper and lower parabolic dips in the refractive index profile of the inner core of the coaxial fiber Raman gain amplifier is reported using matrix method for single pump.
Abstract: An investigation on the effect of practically possible upper and lower parabolic dips in the refractive index profile of the inner core of the coaxial fiber Raman gain amplifier is reported using matrix method for single pump. It is seen that for lower parabolic dip, the tolerable limits of dip parameters correspond to dip depth of 0.25% and dip width of 25% of the respective parameters for ideal step index profile case and agree with the earlier predicted linear dip. However, for upper parabolic dip, one gets higher gain and better flatness at these limits. Even up to 1% of the dip depth for 25% of dip width or 75% of dip width for 0.25% of the dip depth or 0.5% of dip depth and 50% of dip width, one can expect performance as good as that of the ideal one. However, since system designers will be aimed to produce ideal profile, our recommendation is to keep tolerable limits within 0.25% of dip depth and 25% of dip width of respective parameters. But one can accept profile with upper parabolic dip if there is deviation within the above relaxation limits for such dip.

TL;DR: An all-optical tunable pulse delay scheme that utilizes the power-dependent variation of the refractive index that accompanies stimulated Raman scattering in an optical fiber to produce controllable delays in ultra-high bandwidth telecommunication systems.
Abstract: We demonstrate an all-optical tunable pulse delay scheme that utilizes the power-dependent variation of the refractive index that accompanies stimulated Raman scattering in an optical fiber. Using this technique, we delay 430-fs pulses by up to 85% of a pulse width. The ability to accommodate the bandwidth of pulses shorter than 1 ps in a fiber-based system makes this technique potentially viable for producing controllable delays in ultra-high bandwidth telecommunication systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the seamless integration of an 8/spl times/2.5 Gb/s passive optical network and radio-over-fiber access system using all-optical up-conversion based on Raman-assisted four-wave mixing in a high-nonlinear fiber is demonstrated.
Abstract: We experimentally demonstrate the seamless integration of an 8/spl times/2.5 Gb/s wavelength-division-multiplexing passive optical network and radio-over-fiber access system using all-optical up-conversion based on Raman-assisted four-wave mixing in a high-nonlinear fiber. Dispersion-limited reach is extended to >20 km through vestigial-sideband filtering.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a technique for calculating the Raman gain spectra of germanosilicate fibers from their index profiles, which depend on radial profiles of the guided optical modes and the glass composition.
Abstract: In this letter, we present a technique for calculating the Raman gain spectra of germanosilicate fibers from their index profiles. The gain spectra depend on radial profiles of the guided optical modes and the glass composition, in particular the distribution of Si-O-Si and Ge-O-Si bridging bonds. We have obtained spectral coefficients, which represent the contributions from these bonds using Raman gain measurements made on a set of calibration fibers with well-characterized index profiles. We describe how these spectral coefficients can be used in the design of Raman gain fibers, and we demonstrate the accuracy of our technique over a broad range of fiber types.
