Abstract :
A novel exponential structure has been presented for increasing net gain of optical amplification inside silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguides. The stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) has been simulated using FDTD method. The simulation results for the proposed structure have been compared with both analytical and experimental results of the previous works.
