Based on cascaded Raman scattering, near-infrared (NIR) noise-like pulses (NLPs) were successfully demonstrated using a Yb-doped fiber amplifier system. Through a nonlinear fiber amplifier using a germanium-zirconia-silica Yb-doped single mode fiber as a gain fiber, the fourth-order Stokes wave (4-SW) can be excited to extend the emission peak of approximately 1.2-µm and a 3-dB bandwidth of approximately 130 nm.
