Abstract
In this chapter we focus on the use of discrete or lumped Raman amplifiers in the short-wavelength S-band. Recent advances in data communications have led to requirements for higher throughput of wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) transmission systems. Two approaches have been pursued to address the increasing throughput requirements, namely, increasing the spectral efficiency of WDM systems within existing transmission bands, and increasing optical bandwidth to utilize much more of the low-loss window in silica fiber than presently supported on WDM systems. The first approach has been pursued through coding and modulation techniques. The second approach to increasing throughput involves making available new transmission bands beyond those supported by conventional erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs), which presently define the optical bandwidth of most WDM systems.
