A numerical study about the generation of extreme events in lumped Raman fibre amplifier is performed. Evolutions of continuous or pulsed signals are analysed using cross-correlations, spectra and probability density functions. For pulsed signals, the phase evolution is also explored. Both signal and Stokes cascaded waves are considered.
