Title :
Raman amplification in broadband WDM systems
Author_Institution :
Corning Inc., NY, USA
Abstract :
After comparing Raman and erbium amplification, this talk focuses on why distributed Raman amplification has become a catalyzing technology to ultra-long 10 Gb/s and future 40 Gb/s transmission. A review of how Raman systems work and recent transmission results underscore´s it´s potential.
