Noise of Raman Amplifier
Major Noise sources of Raman Amplifiers are: Pump laser noise. ASE noise is due to photon generation by spontaneous Raman scattering. On the other hand, if the internal degree of the amplifier can be accessed and manipulated, we can manage and even reduce the quantum noise of the. Abstract—The noise figure of silicon Raman amplifiers in the presence of nonlinear losses is calculated. We report an observation of quantum noise reduction of more than 3.
