Abstract
We report a novel Raman-gain control method with a simple setup in distributed Raman amplification systems. The method keeps Raman gain completely constant regardless of the variations in connector- and fusion-splicing losses by detecting the Rayleigh backscattering of multi-wavelength pump lights.
