The optimization of multilayered one-dimensional nonlinear structure of Raman amplifier of optical signals consisted of alternate active nonlinear metal layers and passive dielectric has been studied. The amplification of the reflected and passed field energy was calculated for different structure types. The effective replacement of passive layers by active media in the middle and in the end of structure has been demonstrated.
