System Measures Raman Gain in Bulk Glasses

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Breck Hitz

Scientists from the University of Central Florida in Orlando have developed an optical system to measure stimulated Raman gain coefficients in bulk glasses. They have used it to investigate two tellurite glasses developed at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique's Institute for Condensed Matter in Pessac, France, that have peak Raman gain coefficients 30 times better than fused silica. Raman amplification is growing in importance not only for long-haul fiber links, but also for local-area and metro networks. Unlike amplification in erbium-doped fiber amplifiers, it may be used...Read full article
