  • Abstract
    We numerically investigated the relationship between the transverse waveguide geometry and the continuous wave Raman gain in SOI rib waveguide Raman amplifiers. By optimizing the transverse geometric size, a Raman gain enhancement can be achieved in silicon rib waveguides with small effective carrier lifetime.
