1.1 μ m Femtosecond Laser Pulses Generation From 1.06 μ m Self-Seeded Picosecond Coherent Raman Fiber Amplification and Frequency Shift

Although the Raman fiber amplifiers are attractive for their unique advantages and various Raman fiber amplifiers in continuous wave (CW) regime were built, there are a few fundamental limitations for short-pulsed Raman fiber amplifiers. In this paper, we present a theoretical and experimental study on a novel method termed picosecond (ps) coherent Raman fiber amplification, where the stimulated R...
