Abstract
Faced with the challenge of dramatically increasing capacity while constraining costs, carriers have two options either to install new fiber or increase the effective bandwidth of existing fiber. The technology of dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) has recently resulted in a considerable increase in the transmission capacity of fiber-optic communication systems up to several terabits per second. The further improvement of the transmission capacity of such systems can be achieved through the expansion of the spectral range of WDM transmission toward the short-wavelength region. Therefore in this report we have proposed and investigated the new trends and progress of fiber Raman amplification for dense wavelength division multiplexing photonic communication networks. Forty individual channels carrying PRBS data are transmitted over a 50 km length of ITU-T G.652 single mode dispersive fiber. The design objective is to utilize distributed Raman amplification to compensate for the link attenuation thereby effectively increasing the inter-EDFA span in a longer-haul link.
