We present the design of composite optical nanofibers (ONF) coated with thin layers of nonlinear materials, Titanium dioxyde (TiO2) and Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), for the realization of new all-solid Raman wavelength converters for an emission around 1.5 μm. Our simulations show that Stimulated Raman Scattering can be obtained with moderate input peak powers, typical ONF geometrical parameters, and layer thicknesses deposited which are technologically achievable: a few tens of nm for TiO2 and a few hundreds of nm for PMMA. This study enlarges the field of applications of ONF in nonlinear optics and lasers by opening the way to the coating by other materials such as doped polymers.
