In this paper , we demonstrate the possibility of Raman -EDFA association in access networks. for this purpose, we evaluate the respective performances of these two types through a numerical method for 16 channels. Interesting results can be exploited; it is shown that with EDFAs, a target gain of 20dB can be reached for a wavelength range of 980 to 1440nm but with several perturbations in the received signal due to SNR and OSNR. These problems are solved with the integration of Raman amplification which pushes the gain limit to 27dB, with a better flatness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
