Theory of Fiber Optic Raman Polarizers

Optics 2015-05-19 v1

Abstract

The theoretical description of a Raman amplifier based on the vector model of randomly birefringent fibers is proposed and applied to the characterization of Raman polarizers. The Raman polarizer is a special type of Raman amplifier with the property of producing a highly repolarized beam when fed by relatively weak and unpolarized light.
