| 摘要 |
An optical transmission system that employs a Raman amplifier including a Raman pump for introducing depolarized pump light into the fiber. The pump includes an optical source generating a polarized optical pump signal, an optical splitter that splits the pump signal into a first pump portion and a second pump portion, and a beam combiner that combines the first pump portion and the second pump portion into the depolarized pump light. Further, the pump includes a delay device, such as a length of fiber, that causes the first pump portion to propagate farther from the beam splitter to the beam combiner than the second pump portion. The length of fiber is longer than the coherence length of the pump signal.
