Abstract :
We present experimental, numerical and analytical results showing efficient emergence of rogue wave-like extreme intensity spikes during the Raman fiber amplification of a continuous wave. We show that the nonlinear pump depletion and dispersion effects strongly influence the statistical properties of the amplified signal.
