  • Abstract
    In this letter, we study spectral optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) profile of a wide-band Raman fiber amplifier (RFA)with time-division-multiplexed (TDM) pumping. We derive a comprehensive large-signal numerical model which incorporates time variation effects and the downstream propagation of signals, upstream propagation of pumps, and downstream and upstream propagation of amplified spontaneous emission spectral components. We present results for a four-wavelength-pumped discrete RFA with TDM and continuous-wave pumping. Improvement in OSNR flatness of 0.9 dB due to TDM pumping is demonstrated.
