A 3D DPG Maxwell approach to nonlinear Raman gain in fiber laser amplifiers

We propose a three dimensional Discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin Maxwell approach for modeling Raman gain in fiber laser amplifiers. In contrast with popular beam propagation models, we are interested in a truly full vectorial approach. We apply the ultraweak DPG formulation, which is known to carry des...
