Abstract :
Wide-band Raman amplification offers a low cost soltiton for ultra-long-haul, high-capacity WDM transmission systems by enabling low cost designis for the terminal and line equipment. Results are shown on a 2.4Tbls all-Raman system over 1500km SSMF with standatd NRZ, RS255/239 OOB-FEC, and 50GHz channel spacing, using 100nm-bandwidth Raman line amplifiers.
