title: Activated polarization pulling and de-correlation of signal and pump states of polarization in a fiber Raman amplifier.
abstract: We report on a theoretical study of activated polarization pulling and de-correlation of signal and pump states of polarization based on an advanced vector model of a fiber Raman amplifier accounting for random birefringence and two-scale fiber spinning. As a result, we have found that it is possible to provide de-correlation and simultaneously suppress PDG and PMD to 1.2 dB and 0.035 ps/km(1/2) respectively.
