The interest towards passive control of the light polarization through nonlinear effects has been simulated by recent works: in particular a polarization pulling effect has been obtained by means of stimulated Brillouin scattering. Here we investigate the condition for obtaining polarization pulling by exploiting the stimulated Raman scattering, which is most suitable for optical communications thanks to its large gain bandwidth.

Abstract

The interest towards passive control of the light polarization through nonlinear effects has been simulated by recent works: in particular a polarization pulling effect has been obtained by means of stimulated Brillouin scattering. Here we investigate the condition for obtaining polarization pulling by exploiting the stimulated Raman scattering, which is most suitable for optical communications thanks to its large gain bandwidth. Experiments carried out with a 1571-nm signal and high-power 1486-nm pump evidence the Raman-induced polarization pulling.
