Description
Raman gain in fibres of low polarization mode dispersion (PMD) depend on the state of polarization (SOP) of the input signal. During forward pumping a large gain variation is observed for certain SOPs when fibre PMD coefficient is below 0.03 pskm-1/2. The gain difference is small for fibres of relatively high PMD parameter.
