  3. EDFA-amplification - It is necessary to provide amplification with an error no more than  5 dB in the whole spectral band of the amplifier.

  4. SRS amplification in silica fiber - With pump=1480 nm, due to the broadband of SRS-amplification stokes=1550 - 1580 nm.

  5. Combined EDFA andStokes SRS amplification - Flattening of amplification curve is possible with combined using of EDFA and Stokes SRS amplifier. - For improvement of amplification curve and creating of a new channel in 1310 nm we propose to use simultaneous Stokes and anti-Stokes SRS amplification at QPM.

  6. Principle of quasi-phase matching Nonlinearity (2) Nonlinearity (3) Raman active medium 3

  7. Principle of quasi-phase matching at SRS -Generalized phase =2p-a-s-(ka+ks-2kp)r, where ki – is the wave vector of interacting wave, that describes the direction of energy conversion “pump – Stokes – anti-Stokes”, on passive layers input (0, 2) and active layers input (1, 3) do not practically change, that in a final result provides a realization of quasi-phase matching conditions. (3)0 (3)=0

  8. System of steady-state SRS equations  – waves mismatching, g – steady-state Raman gain coefficient, i – frequencies of interacting waves, Aj– complex wave amplitudes. In this system the waves mismatching and Raman gain are the functions of coordinate for nonlinear ((3)0) and linear ((3)=0) layers. 5

  9. Efficiency of anti-Stokes SRS generation in Raman-active media Hydrogen  = 3.84 rad/cm g = 3.0 cm/GW. - There is an optimal ratio Is/Ip, for maximal conversion efficiency. - The ratio depended from waves mismatching and steady-state Raman gain coefficient. 6

  10. Energy conversion at quasi-phase matching Hydrogen  = 3.84 rad/cm g = 3.0 cm/GW Is(0) = 0.0023 GW/cm2 efficiency  30% -At optimum ratio Is/Ip, conversion efficiency reached more than 30%, but Stokes intensity is higher then anti-Stokes intensity. 7

  11. Comparison of quasi-phase and phase matching Hydrogen  = 3.84 rad/cm g = 3.0 cm/GW 1 - quasi-phase matching 2 - without (quasi-) phase matching 3 - phase matching -Conversion efficiency at quasi-phase matching is lower than at phase matching and higher than at simple focusing in Raman media. 8

  12. H2 Lengths of active and passive zones - Similar plot can be achieved for barium nitrate. - Structure of layers is not periodical. - Lengths of active/passive layers are monotonously decreased/ increased. -It is essentially different from quasi-phase matching in (2) media. 9

  13. Characteristic zone lengths - It is possible to approximate this dependence as La = 2.6/ and Lp = 3.9/. - With increasing of waves mismatching structure become more periodical. 10

  14. Critical pump wave intensity - There is a critical value of pump intensity. -This dependence can be approximated as Icr.p=0.4Δ/g 11

  15. SRS in silica fiber - For amplification in both windows it is possible to use simultaneously amplification of Stokes and anti-Stokes radiation at condition of quasi-phase matching. - The structure is quasi-periodic.

  16. SimultaneouslyStokes and anti-Stokes amplification - Stokes and anti-Stokes amplification provides amplification peaks at wavelengths of 1389 and 1583 nm with pump 1480 nm.

  17. EDFA and anti-Stokes SRS amplification - Combined EDFA and simultaneously Stokes and anti-Stokes amplification provides the amplification in both windows.

  18. Stokes-Anti-Stokes SRS amplification is useful for improvement of EDFA amplification curve and creating of amplified channel in 1310 nm transparency window. • Quasi-phase matching structure in silica fibers is quasi-periodic. • Layers lengths do not depend on input waves intensities if the ratio between pump/Stokes/anti-Stokes waves intensities does not change. • For more effective flattening of the amplification curve and broadening of amplified channel in 1310 nm transparency window we can use pump at several wavelengths.
