title: Picosecond all-fiber cascaded Raman shifter pumped by an amplified gain switched laser diode.
abstract: We investigated an all-fiber picosecond Raman shifter, pumped by an amplified gain switched laser diode in detail. The Raman shifter emitted ps pulses simultaneously at 8 different central wavelengths in the region between 1.06 µm and 1.59 µm.
