Abstract :
With the help of a photonic transmission design suite (PTDS) tool I will demonstrate the advantage of using L-band amplifiers especially for long-haul terrestrial or submarine DWDM systems in which thousands of amplifiers might be needed in a single transmission link. This is due to the exceptional features that are permitted in a cascade configuration such as a very flat gain. I will show that an L-band amplifier doesn´t require a gain-flattening filter (GFF) compared to C-band amplifiers which do
