title: Raman amplification of modulational instability and solitary-wave formation.
abstract: The effect of synchrohous Raman gain in a single-mode fiber on a weak signal exhibiting modulational instability is shown spectrally and temporally to give rise to the rapid development of a single ultrashort solitary wave and a lowlevel dispersive pedestal.
