The gain coefficient (Formula presented) can be related to physical parameters that are typical in Raman amplifier experiments as (Formula presented) =α(Formula presented) /(Formula presented), where α is the plane wave gain coefficient 13, (Formula presented) is the peak pump power, and (Formula presented) is the wavelength of the pump laser.
