Optimization of Channel Powers, Raman Pumps and EDFAs in the Wideband Fiber Optic Transmission Systems (W2B.1)
Presenter: John Downie, Corning Research and Development Corporation
A hybrid Raman/EDFA link design optimization method to maximize fiber capacity is proposed. The optimization method accounts for the interplay of signal power tilts due to channels ISRS, pump ISRS, and EDFA physics.
