In this paper we study a discrete Raman laser amplification model given as a Lotka-Volterra system. We show that in an ideal situation, the equations can be written as a Poisson system with boundary conditions using a global change of coordinates. We address the questions of existence and uniqueness of a solution. We deduce numerical schemes for the approximation of the solution that have good stability.

Initial value problems for systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are solved numerically by using a combination of (a) the θ-method, (b) the sequential splitting procedure and (c) Richardson Extrapolation. Stability results for the combined numerical method are proved. It is shown, by using numerical experiments, that if the combined numerical method is stable, then it behaves as a second-order method.
