title: Stimulated Raman scattering threshold for partially coherent light in silica fibers.
abstract: Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) is an important limiting factor for achieving high peak power intensity in fiber amplifier systems. It was proposed to use partially coherent light to increase the SRS threshold significantly. In this paper, the SRS threshold of partially coherent light in silica fibers is investigated by both experiments and theoretical analysis, which show that the SRS threshold is independent on light coherency when the bandwidth of the light is much narrower than 30 nm.
