Analysis of the conversion to the first Stokes in cladding-pumped fiber Raman amplifiers
In this paper, we analyze the optical conversion efficiency of a multimode pump source into a diffraction-limited beam in cladding-pumped Raman fiber lasers and amplifiers. We theoretically derive a relation of the cladding/core area ratio for efficient energy transfer from the pump into the first S...
