title: Influence of dispersion of fiber Bragg grating mirrors on formation of optical power spectrum in Raman fiber lasers.
abstract: We show, from experiments and numerical simulations, that dispersion of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) mirrors influences the formation of the optical power spectrum of Raman fiber lasers by shifting the cavity zero-dispersion wavelength inside the FBG reflectivity bandwidth. This results in a spectrum asymmetry, which is well described from a master equation including a third-order dispersion term.
