title: Numerical investigation of the impact of reflectors on spectral performance of Raman fibre laser.
abstract: Using a cavity mode model we study numerically the impact of bandwidth and spectral response profile of fibre Bragg gratings on four-wave-mixing-induced spectral broadening of radiation generated in 6 km and 22 km SMF-based Raman fibre lasers.
