Abstract
A penalty-free 10 Gbit/s single-channel transmission with co-pumped distributed Raman amplification using a novel high power, low relative integrity noise (RIN), multimode 14xx nm distributed feedback pump is reported. No penalty from pump to signal RIN transfer was observed with co-pumped Raman gains up to 6 dB large effective area fibre (LEAF). In contrast, 0.5 dB penalty was observed with a fibre Bragg grating stabilised pump at 6 dB of Raman gain.
