Amplification of a Soliton — Application to the Optical Soliton Transmission System

  • 107 Accesses

Abstract

In this chapter we discuss the amplification and reshaping of an optical soliton using, in particular, the stimulated Raman process in the same fiber. The amplification can cancel the intrinsic fiber loss, whereby a soliton can be made to propagate over an extended distance. We present the result of an experiment to verify the Raman process, a numerical simulation for a Raman amplified transmission system, an experimental result of one-soliton transmission, periodically amplified by the Raman process, over a distance of more than 6000 kms and of amplification and reshaping of solitons is an erbium doped fiber pumped by a laser diode.
