The physical origin and main characteristics of the stimulated Raman scattering will be reviewed. Its application to the field of signal amplification in optical fiber communication systems will be also reviewed. Finally numerical and experimental results will be presented regarding various aspects like hybrid EDFA-Raman amplification schemes, multiple pump amplification and cascaded amplification.
