Raman amplifier is an open area of research in telecommunication field. This paper discusses the performance of 64 channels of 10 Gbps WDM systems with backward multipump Raman amplifier. The main goal of this paper is the optimization of Raman amplifier to minimize its gain variation without using any gain flattening techniques. To increase the transmission capacity of DWDM system, Raman amplifier with backward multipump configuration is implemented. The optimized parameters such as pump power and frequencies are used to deliver both ground and excited state absorption for amplification in S+C and C+L band region. The pump power and frequencies are optimized through multitarget and multiparameter optimization tool available in OptiSystem software. Gain ripple was achieved <0.5 dB for this simulation setup. The maximum flat gain achieved is 8.6 dB and noise figure of <8 dB was achieved for this wide bandwidth without using gain flattening techniques. This amplifier design will be helpful for CATV applications and telecommunication networks.

AbstractThe interminable need of number of channels in communication systems escorts more number of wavelengths to be used. This broad spectrum of wavelengths when expands in both C and L band, the need of hybrid optical amplifiers (HOA) comes into play. In this work, we proposed an automatic gain-controlled HOA using Residual pumping for C/L band. The desired gain is fixed at 27 dB at pump power swinging between 300 and 400 mW. The input powers are automatically adjusted so as to provide invariable and flat gain eliminating the wavelength dependency of optical amplifier to great extents. Analysis is carried out in a 32 channel WDM system and power transients are also measured in terms of powers of surviving channels and excursion amplitudes by adding and dropping up to 28 channels. The output is adjudicated in terms of maximum gain achieved, OSNR, BER, gain flatness, noise figure and power transient excursion amplitudes.

AbstractIn this paper, a competent flat gain hybrid optical amplifier is proposed with an optimum arrangement of erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and Raman amplifier. Attempts are made to design a hybrid optical amplifier for100 channels, 10 Gbps super dense wavelength division multiplexed (SDWDM) systems at channel spacing of 0.1 nm. Work capacity of the system was compared on the basis of various parameters, viz., noise figure and gain that determined the performance of the system. The gain spectrum of the hybrid optical amplifier depends upon the parameters viz., laser input power, pump power and pump wavelength of the amplifier. It was found that for wavelength range 1,560.38–1,579.59 nm, a flat gain of 4.34 dB is achieved for input power of −10 dB with noise figure variation of 0.818 dB without using any gain flattering scheme. Being simple and cost effective, this hybrid optical amplifier could be recommended for gain flatness characteristics and acceptable noise figure for dense wavelength multiplexed systems.
