Performance of DRA with different pumping schemes based on coupling equation

Abstract:

After the coupling equations of co-pumping,counter-pumping and bidirectional-pumping distributed Raman amplifiers(DRAs) are theoretically analyzed,the power distributions of these three DRAs are acquired with numerical analysis.The performance factors,such as net gain(NG),amplified spontaneous emissions(ASE) noise,double Rayleigh backscattering(DRB) noise,noise figure(NF) and optical signal noise ratio(OSNR),are discussed in depth.It can be found that the NGs of the three DRAs are almost equal.T...
