Recently, fiber Raman amplifiers have proven to be effective in the all-optical control of the state of polarization of signals in single-mode telecommunications optical fibers. Previous works predicted the existence of a quantitative relationship between the achieved degree of polarization and the mean Raman gain. Here, we experimentally validate such a relationship in the case of counter-propagating Raman-based polarization attractors for different pump and signal powers and for different fiber link lengths.

Abstract
Recently, fiber Raman amplifiers have proven to be effective in the all-optical control of the state of polarization of signals in single-mode telecommunications optical fibers. Previous works predicted the existence of a quantitative relationship between the achieved degree of polarization and the mean Raman gain. Here, we experimentally validate such a relationship in the case of counter-propagating Raman-based polarization attractors for different pump and signal powers and for different fiber link lengths.
