Abstract

Summary form only given. We have experimentally demonstrated and theoretically investigated the generation of cascaded Raman self-frequency shifted soliton in Er/Yb-doped fiber amplifier and its dependence on input polarization. The number of cascaded Raman solitons generated increases as a function of optical pump power of the fiber amplifier, while different input polarization condition results in different amount of soliton frequency shift.
