Résumé

Mitigate signal loss and upgrade fiber capacity with this comprehensive guide to Raman amplification!

Since it was first pointed out that Raman amplification could be used to provide capacity upgrades, the use of Raman amplification in optical fiber communication systems has exploded. One advantage of Raman amplification is that it can occur in any fiber. It is therefore used in fiber optic communication systems to amplify signal light as it is traveling in transmission fibers, to compensate for the inevitable fiber losses. It is also used before and after the transmission spans to amplify signals.

This book provides a comprehensive description of the Raman amplification technique as it is applied to telecommunication systems. It covers both the fundamental and the applied aspects of the topic and is intended to serve both as a useful reference for researchers engaged in the field, as well as a teaching tool for those who are planning to enter this exciting field, or for graduate students with some knowledge of electromagnetic theory.
