Weanalyzed the amplification effect of orthogonally polarized pulse trapping inbirefringent fibers both experimentally and numerically. Trapped pulses were amplifiedover a wide wavelength range of 1650-1800 nm accompanying thered-shift. The maximum effective gain was 26 dB for a140 m-long low birefringent fiber. It was clarified that thisamplification effect is caused by stimulated Raman scattering between orthogonallypolarized pulses. ©2010 Optical Society of America
