Abstract :
:A highly efficient configurable three-wavelength cascaded Raman laser suitable for broadband Raman amplification is demonstrated. The power at each wavelength is adjusted by varying the reflectivity of fiber grating output couplers. Measurements of the power stability at each wavelength show that the source is stable.
