T. Okuno et al., Novel optical hybrid line configuration for quasi-lossless transmission bydistributed Raman amplification, IEEE PHOTON, 13(8), 2001, pp. 806-808
We propose a novel lossless transmission line configuration which exhibits
significantly small signal power variation along the line by Raman amplific
ation, A hybrid line consisting of two fibers with different Raman gain pro
perties is theoretically investigated, and it is shown that signal power de
viation can be suppressed to only 1.2 dB in a 50-km span, Validity of the p
roposed hybrid line is confirmed by experiments.
