Single-Mode Raman Fiber Laser In A Multimode Fiber, Matthew B. Crookston Mar 2003

Single-Mode Raman Fiber Laser In A Multimode Fiber, Matthew B. Crookston

Theses and Dissertations

The feasibility of a transverse single-mode Raman fiber laser using a multimode fiber has been investigated. The Raman fiber laser operates in low-order transverse modes despite the fact the fiber supports multimode beam propagation. The performance characteristics of the Raman fiber laser are compared with those of the single-pass SRS beam.
