Abstract
An accurate design for a Photonic Crystal fiber (PCF) Raman amplifier has been developed. In this PCF, the geometric parameters, Raman gain coefficient, effective mode area, the Germania concentration in the doped area, and dispersion and confinement loss characteristics have been investigated at 1.55 μm. The flexibility of the geometrical parameters and doping concentrations that allowed to optimize these parameters to increase the amplifier efficiency have been studied. For ⋀ = 3.2 μm, \( d_{1} = 1.44\,\upmu{\rm m},d_{2} = 1.47\;\upmu{\rm m} \), Raman gain coefficient of 9.25 \( {\rm W}^{ - 1} {\rm km}^{ - 1} \) and almost zero dispersion are achieved for 7.5 km low loss hexagonal Photonic Crystal Fiber with an effective area of 20 \( \upmu{\rm m}^{2} . \)
