Abstract :
Summary from only given. Raman amplifiers now constitute a viable solution for long-haul and/or ultra-long-haul, large throughput WDM systems. The main benefit is low-noise, wide-band amplification over any spectral window within the low-loss region of optical fibers. Several transmission experiments have been reported illustrating these benefits. In addition,all Raman transmission experiments have been reported, resulting in very high performance with a high WDM density and a large transmission distance.
