Raman Fiber Amplifer( RFA)

Raman fiber amplifier is an optical amplifier that uses the stimulated Raman scattering effect in single-mode fiber to amplify the optical signal. There are usually Counter Raman amplification and Co-Propagating amplification.

Raman fiber amplifier is an optical amplifier that uses the stimulated Raman scattering effect in single-mode fiber to amplify the optical signal. There are usually Counter Raman amplification and Co-Propagating amplification. 

 

The amplifier modules can be operated at constant pump power (Automatic Pump Power Control, APPC). Different wavelength pump power can be adjusted to achieve smooth gain spectrum for the DWDM network application.  It can amplify the single channel signal, in order to achieve the best OSNR; the module integrated a narrow band filter to suppress the ASE power.
