Abstract :
A method for the design of a source, fibre and detector system, which is free from distortion due to stimulated Raman scattering, is proposed. The maximum transmission length and optimum loss value are predicted for a known input power level in dimensionless plots which clearly distinguish the operating region free of stimulated Raman scattering. Circumstances in which the losses at the pump and Stokes wavelengths are unequal are considered.
