This technial report is applicable to the Raman gain efficiency measurement of a single-mode transmission optical fibre. It is useful in assessing the fibre's performance in Raman amplifed transmission systems.
This technical report describes a method that uses two unmodulated continuous waves to measure the Raman gain efficiency of a single-mode transmission optical fibre. This parameter assesses the fibre's efficiency at converting input pump power to information signal power.
