We have experimentally investigated the effects of Raman pump direction on the performance of multiwavelength Brillouin-Raman fiber laser. Comparison of Raman gain profiles at different Raman pump direction demonstrates higher gain in backward-pumping scheme than that in the forward pumping configur...
