A computer model of non-dispersion-limited stimulated Raman scattering in optical fiber multiple-channel communications

The development of a computer model for non-dispersion-limited stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in optical fiber multiple-channel communication systems is reported. The model takes into account the pump depletion due to SRS and the different attenuation coefficients at different wavelengths of operation. It can calculate the SRS effects in any fiber, provided the Raman gain profile for that fiber is known. Thus, the model is general in nature and can be used for a number of problems. It can be used to calculate the output power of all the channels, given the input of every channel and its operating wavelength. It can also be used, at least in principle, to determine the input power level if a desired level of output power is required. Moreover, it can be used to estimate the optical amplification of a signal due to SRS. This is possible because the governing equations for all of these processes are similar and therefore can be solved using the same approach. >
