The moment method is used to calculate the Ramaninduced timing jitter generated by amplifier-induced fluctuations in the energy, frequency, and position of optical pulses propagating inside dispersion-managed fiber links. Using a Gaussian form for c
A four-level tripod active-Raman-gain scheme is analyzed for obtaining phase-controlled gain, phase shift, and group velocity at room temperature. The scheme can be used to eliminate significant probe field attenuation or distortion which is unavoida
The co-existence of the Raman and Brillouin backscattering instability is an important issue for inertial confinement fusion. The present paper presents extensive one-dimensional (1D) particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations for a wide range of parameters
