Fundamental noise limits in broadband Raman amplifiers

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

We show that broadband discrete Raman amplifiers based on silica-germania will have a noise figure significantly greater than the quantum limit. We also present temperature measurements on a broadband distributed Raman amplifier using asymmetrically-spaced pumps.
