  • Abstract
    In this work, we discuss the emergence of rare and intense events in a Raman fiber amplifier. The temporal and spectral evolutions of continuous and pulsed signals are investigated, and approaches based on spectral slicing of the broadened spectra are proposed in order to isolate the rarest events. Numerical simulations are confirmed by experimental results.
