In this work, the liquid photonic crystal (olive oil) was injected in fiber to enhance the optical amplification of light according to Raman amplification technique. In this work it was used three types of fibers (LMA, ESM and Hollow core) fibers. The gain has been calculated for the three type of fibers (LMA, ESM and Hollow Core) fibers as (19.46 dB, 8.473 dB and 0.325 dB) respectively, also, the noise of these three type of fibers has been calculated as (-17.71 dB, -8.026 dB and 24.72 dB) respectively. Then, it was compared among these three types of fiber.
