General Information
fiber run and pumps in opposite direction toward the data source. This means that the
data signals are amplified many kilometers before they reach the output end of the
transmission fiber.
Unlike an EDFA, which amplifies all the channels in a DWDM signal simultaneously, the
Raman amplifier increases the data signal strength of any C-band wavelength in
transport. Compared to EDFAs, it provides a low noise figure, flexible gain spectral
region, and stable performance. Raman amplifiers are preferably used in conjunction with
an EDFA to extend the link budget in a DWDM system.
Raman amplifiers are supported in a future release.
