ABSTRACT:
An upgrade method in which Raman amplification is added to an existing transmission system to provide an increase in power budget and permit a substantial increase in transmission capacity either by time division multiplexing (TDM), wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), or a combination thereof. The power budget improvement permits higher transmission capacity by increasing either a single channel data rate and/or the number of wavelength division multiplexed data channels that can be accommodated by existing fiber links.
