ABSTRACT:
A discrete Raman amplifier system is disclosed comprised of a Raman gain fiber span, a first wavelength selection system coupled to a first end of the Raman gain fiber span, a second wavelength selection system coupled to a second end of the Raman gain fiber span, and a pump system. The Raman gain fiber span receives optical signals. The pump system pumps light onto the Raman gain fiber span. The first wavelength selection system and the second wavelength selection system reflect a selected wavelength on the Raman gain fiber span. The light pumped by the pump system and the selected wavelength amplify the optical signals to generate amplified optical signals.
