Abstract: The Raman polarizer is a Raman amplifier which not only amplifies but also re-polarizes light. We propose a relatively simple and analytically tractable model – the ideal Raman polarizer, for describing the operation of this device. The model efficiently determines key device parameters such as the degree of polarization, the alignment parameter, the gain and the RIN variance.
