Inline Loopbacks for Improved OSNR and Reduced Double Rayleigh Scattering in Distributed Raman Amplifiers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We present a novel transmission system configuration, using passive components in a loopback topology, to improve counter-pumped distributed Raman amplification. This improves system performance, reduces double Rayleigh scattering and increases the efficiency of pump usage.
