Fiber Based Dispersion Compensation pp 115–143Cite as

Dispersion compensating fibers for Raman applications

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Optical and Fiber Communications Reports ((OFCR,volume 5))

Dispersion compensating fibers (DCF) are the most widely used technology for dispersion compensation. A DCF without Raman amplification introduces extra loss in the system, thus increasing the need for gain in the discrete amplifiers and degrading the noise performance. The idea to additionally use the DCF as a Raman gain medium was originally proposed by Hansen et al. in 1998. [1] This was quickly followed by Emori et al., who demonstrated a broadband, loss less DCF using multiplewavelength Raman pumping. [2]DCFis a good Raman gain medium, due to a relatively high germanium doping level and a small effective area. To get sufficient gain with a reasonable pump power, a discrete Raman amplifier has to contain several kilometers of fiber, adding extra dispersion to the system that must be handled in the overall dispersion management. Dispersion compensating Raman amplifiers integrates two key functions: dispersion compensation and discrete Raman amplification into a single component.
