Abstract
We present an optimally designed dispersion compensating Raman amplifier (DCRA). The dispersion and dispersion-slope can be simultaneously compensated for non-zero dispersion fiber TrueWave®RS (TWRS) by extra-high-slope dispersion compensating fiber (EHS-DCF). For C-band 38.4nm range centered at 1548nm, the optical link residual dispersion is within ±0.1ps/nm⋅km. An average net gain of 8 dB with optimized flatness of ±0.13dB can be achieved with average NF of 5.6dB and DRB induced MPI of −46dB.
