In this paper the stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) effect in high-power fiber amplifiers seeded by the narrow-band filtered superfluorescent source (SFS) is firstly analyzed both theoretically and experimentally. Spectral models for the formation of the SFS and the spectral evolution in high-power fiber amplifiers seeded by filtered SFS are proposed. It is found that the SRS effect in high-power fiber amplifiers depends on the spectral width of the filtered SFS seed. The theoretical predictions are in qualitative agreements with the experimental results.
