Noise Suppression Phenomenon in Fiber Raman Amplifier

Noise Suppression Phenomenon in Fiber Raman Amplifier

The problem of small bit error rate is actual in fiber Raman amplifiers. Our experimental data on the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) with backward pumping as a base of optical noise evaluation are presented in this paper. Raman gain spectrum for useful Stokes low-powered signal is calculated and compared with obtained spectrum of non-coherent ASE noise. It is shown that output optical sig...

Analysis and Investigation of Noise Figure of Fiber Raman Amplifier

Raman amplifiers are widely used for high capacity long haul communication systems. One of the main reason for which it can be used is its improved noise figure. In this paper noise figure of Raman amplifiers is studied and analysed for different pumping schemes. The main sources of noise and their effects on the noise figure are discussed and the methods to reduce the noise figure are proposed.

Raman Amplifier with Integrated Dispersion-Compensating Fiber

It has been more than 20 years since fiber-optic communication became practicable, and there has been a continuing stream of technological breakthroughs. The increased diffusion of the Internet has seen the rapid introduction of dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) systems. With the burgeoning increases in communications capacity in recent years 1), attention has been focused on Raman ...

Noise Figure Analysis Of Distributed Fibre Raman Amplifier

Fibre Raman amplifiers are being deployed in many new long-haul and ultra long-haul fibre-optic transmission systems, making them the first and most widely commercialized nonlinear optical devices in telecommunications. One of the main reasons for this is their improved noise figure and reduced nonlinear penalty of fibre systems hence allowing for longer amplifier spans. In this paper, we have ...
