Abstract :
In these experiments we measure the CGS spectrum through a cascade of Raman pumped transmission spans and dispersion compensating fibers (DCF) in order to examine for the first time the evolution of the saturated gain variations through a transmission system.We have numerically simulated the output power spectra and gain saturation for this system.
