title: A novel algorithm for a multi-cavity Raman fiber laser.
abstract: In this paper a Raman Fiber Lasers (RFLs) with several embedded cavities are studied. A novel algorithm is proposed to solve the coupled equations describing the optical power evolution in a RFL. By using some invariant constants as the boundary condition at the output end, the problem of solving ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with guessing boundary value is translated into a two-boundary-condition ODE problem. The algorithm is based on Newton-Raphson method and proved rather fast and stable. Quantitative analysis is performed based on the algorithm.
