Abstract

The gain and noise figure of Raman amplifier in U-band region for single mode fiber (SMF) and dispersion shifted fiber (DSF) with simple WDM pumping scheme is presented in this paper. For SMF a 17 dB gain with 45 nm bandwidth and for DSF, a 27 dB gain with 42 nm bandwidth is obtained in U-band. Gain flatness is achieved with a ladder shape designed filter.

Keywords

U-band, Raman amplifier, WDM pumping and stimulated Raman scattering.
