            Abstract : 
We review recent progress on ultra-wide-band tellurite-based fibre Raman amplifiers. The amplifiers provided a seamless gain-bandwidth of over 120 nm and we confirmed that they could be used as a booster, inline, or pre-amplifier without serious problems. We show that these amplifiers play an essential role in ultra-wide-band seamless DWDM transmission with simple transmission lines.
