摘要:
Embodiments described herein relate to an optical fiber stretch that may experience forward Raman amplification in which the peak optical signal power occurs at some distance from the transmitter. Smaller effective area optical fiber is used at a portion of the optical fiber stretch in which the optical signal power is increasing, while larger effective area optical fiber is used at a more remote stretch of the optical fiber stretch that experiences the peak optical signal power. Thus, the quality of the signal is better preserved since the larger effective area fiber reduces maximum optical signal density thereby reducing non-linear degradations on signal quality.

摘要:
A Raman amplifier comprises a pump source (10) configured to produce pumping wavelengths divided into a short wavelength side group and a long wavelength side group, a boundary between the short wavelength side group and the long wavelength side group being defined by a longest interval between any two adjacent pumping wavelengths. The short wavelength side group includes two or more pumping wavelengths having substantially equidistant intervals therebetween, e.g. 1 THz, that are shorter than the longest interval, e.g. 2 THz or more. The long wavelength side group includes not more than two pumping wavelengths. The pump source (10) is configured to adjust a level of at least one of the short wavelength side group and the long wavelength side group so as to impart a predetermined tilt to a composite gain profile.
