Abstrakt: We report a new vector model of a fiber Raman amplifier with a randomly varying birefringence. We find that the analysis of gain fluctuations and polarization-dependent gain can be used for measurements of beat and birefringence correlation lengths and the polarization mode dispersion value on a long single-mode fiber. Results are consistent with a standard technique based on differential group delay measurements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
