Raman gain amplifier
Raman gain is optical gain (amplification) arising from stimulated Raman scattering. It is often used in a fiber that carries a signal for a long distance (such as in an undersea cable). Based on the stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) effect, a Raman amplifier uses a transmission fiber as the gain medium to transfer Raman pump power to C-band signals for amplification. 6 km of single-mode fibre (SMF) using EDFA, discrete Raman, hybrid Raman/EDFA, and first-order or second-order (dual-order) distributed Raman amplifiers.
