Abstract: Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in normally dispersive highly birefringent fiber, under dual-frequency, orthogonal polarization pumping is examined. It is shown that SRS can be suppressed in any of the fiber axes via two distinct processes prevailing at large and small group velocity mismatches between the pumps, respectively. For relatively large group velocity mismatch, parametric four-wave mixing is the dominant process for the suppression of Raman Stokes radiation. On the other hand, for small group of velocity mismatch, the Raman Stokes light is suppressed along the polarization direction of the highest frequency pump, through a mechanism associated with the orthogonal component of the Raman gain.
