Abstract

Using fibers as nonlinear media allows one to observe interesting effects associated with the mutual influence of parametric and Raman processes.¹ In previous papers^1,2 we have shown experimentally that parametric interaction among pump, Stokes, and anti-Stokes waves can suppress stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in fibers for a single-mode case (when all waves are in the same polarization mode). We have utilized this effect to increase the degree of fiber-grating pulse compression.²
