Flattening the gain of broadband Raman amplifier with multipump configuration
In this lesson, we will use the gain flattening type of optimization to optimize the pump powers for flattening the gain of a Raman amplifier. Fiber Raman amplifiers are recently getting much more attention in WDM systems due to their greatly extended bandwidth and...
Optimizing the pump power and frequencies of Raman amplifiers for gain flatness
In this example, we show that the Gain Flattening type of optimization can be used to design multi-wavelength pumped Raman amplifiers with a flattened gain. Given amplifier specifications such as signal level, required gain profile, and number of allowed pump...Raman Amplifier – Dynamic Model
This lesson demonstrates generating the transients based on add-drops in signals in a Raman amplifier. In this example, we simulate a counter-pumped Raman amplifier for a small number of signals. Then the results are compared with the ones found in the literature. The...
SOA Gain Saturation – Gaussian Pulses
Amplification of ultra-short optical pulses in SOA produces considerable spectral broadening and distortion due to the non-linear phenomenon of self-phase modulation. The physical mechanism behind SPM is gain saturation, which leads to intensity-dependent changes of...
