Abstract

The numerical modeling of Raman polarization attraction and amplification process in the telecommunication band around 1550nm are presented. The possibility of achieving both polarization pulling and amplification in a Polarization Division Multiplexing transmission system by exploiting the polarization dependence of stimulated Raman scattering is investigated. The acceptable crosstalk and Raman gain for Polarization Division Multiplexing transmission systems were achieved for some attraction/amplification block parameters.
