Nanofibers are nowadays attracting attention as an interesting tool to explore evanescent nonlinearities. In this context, we propose a full optical characterization of a nanofiber immersed in a Raman liquid in order to control the backward Raman and Brillouin beams that limit the forward Raman effect. Simulations are performed determining the parameters of the nanofibers to be fabricated on this issue for different vectorial modes. An experimental setup is presented enabling us to investigate such a characterization. Further experimental results will be gotten and are expected to lead to novel applications in nonlinear optics.
