Abstract

This work examines the evolution over distance of power transient excursions in a broadband Raman amplified transmission system as a function of surviving channel wavelength. In a Raman based system, the appearance of overshoots is dependent on the relative strength of channel-channel and pump-channel interactions at different wavelengths. The tilt behavior of uncontrolled transient propagation is also studied.
