Abstract
An optical transmission system for wavelength-division multiplex signals, having cascaded Raman amplifiers, has a number of pump sources for each Raman amplifier, each having different pump wavelengths sets from one pump source to another pump source. This results in a flat gain spectrum for all the channels in a WDM transmission signal.
