ABSTRACT:
A method for selecting a relation between a gain Gf of a Forward Raman Amplifier (FRA) at a transmitting end of a fiber optic transmission line and an optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) at a receiving end of the fiber optic transmission line satisfying limitations for real long transmission lines. The method comprises selecting the relation using a regulation function ROSNR obtained either in the form of a simplified equation, or in the form of one or more linear approximations of the function for practical ranges of the FRA gain.
