The requirements for 14XX nm pumps with wavelength range from 1400 to 1520 are not only higher output power but also lower degree of polarization (DOP) preventing the problem due polarization-dependent-gain in Raman amplifier. It is expected that co-propagating pumping could improve system performances comparison using counter pumping. To apply this scheme, pump lasers should have enough low relative intensity noise (RIN) characteristics. In paper, we will describe two novel concepts 14XXnm...
