INTRODUCTION
Raman Amplifier was demonstrated in the 1980.
NEED OF OPTICAL
AMPLIFICATION
Typical fiber loss around 1.5 um is 0.2 dB , SNR is
low and BER is high.
The Optical to Electrical to Optical conversion
require costly electronics but it operates in optical
domain.
It can be placed at intervals along a fiber link &
provide better performance over regenerative
repeaters which require optoelectronic devices
and electronic circuits.
larger amplification bandwidth (several
thousands GHz)
Speed bottlenecks from electronics are removed &
amplify multiple optical inputs at different
RAMAN AMPLIFIER
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
RA is based on Stimulated Raman Scattering.
Variable wavelength amplification, depends on
pump wavelength. For example pumping at 1500
nm produces gain at about 1560-1570 nm
TYPES OF RAMAN
AMPLIFIER
Raman Amplifier uses intrinsic property of silica
fiber which itself combats Signal loss, it uses
non linearity nature of fiber.
Raman Amplifier are of two types:
(1). Distributed Raman Amplifier
(2). Discrete Raman Amplifier (Lumped)
DRA
In DRA, optical fiber itself is used as
amplification medium.
Pumping is done with a high power pump
laser injected at fiber end & amplify the
signal.
It is useful in compensating losses.
CONTD.
It depends mainly on optical frequency
ADVANTAGES &
DISADVANTAGES
Advantages
Variable Wavelength amplification possible.
Compatible with Single Mode fiber stokes
wave.
Help to realize longer transmission distance.
Bandwidth is large.
Disadvantages
High pump power requirements.
Sophisticated Gain control needed.
Noise is also an issue.
