✦ Synopsis

We have demonstrated a Cs vapor laser that utilizes fifteen laser diode arrays for transverse pumping of the gain medium. A maximum output power of 28 W was achieved with a total optical to optical efficiency of 14% and a slope efficiency of 15%. Transverse pumping allows scaling of such a laser system to a higher power level by simple increasing of the gain medium volume and the number of pump sources.

## Abstract We propose a new and efficient method to optimize the output gain profile based on the characteristics of a WDM pumped Raman gain spectra and the fact that different wavelength pumps have different impacts on the gain tilt. As an application, we optimize a 10 wavelength pumped fiber Ram
