摘要:
Improved lumped Raman amplification systems are disclosed. A lumped Raman amplification structure provides optimized efficiency, low noise figure over a range of gain settings, and a high saturation threshold. Responsibility for amplifying different portions of the spectrum is divided among multiple stages. In one particular implementation, two outer stages amplify a first band and two inner stages amplify a second band. The two inner stages also apply a small amount of amplification to the first band. A modification improves noise figure in the second band by adding some amplification in the second band to the first stage.

摘要:
In an optical communication network that includes a plurality of interconnected network nodes, a method includes storing in each network node one or more cross-talk margins of respective communication channels that traverse the node. A potential communication channel that traverses a subset of the nodes in the network is identified. A quality of the potential communication channel is evaluated by processing the cross-talk margins stored in the nodes in the subset.

In an optical communication network that includes a plurality of interconnected network nodes, a method includes storing in each network node, and for each communication channel that traverses the node, one or more impairment margins of respective impairments that affect the communication channel. A potential communication channel that traverses a subset of the nodes in the network is identified. A quality of the potential communication channel is evaluated by processing the impairment margins stored in the nodes in the subset.
