Abstract Due to the benefits of Raman amplifier for Long-Haul UW-WDM Optical Communications Systems, we interest in this paper to investigate the parameters affecting on Raman gain and bandwidth, and also we are analyzed four and eight Raman pumping of special pump power and pumping wavelengths to show the effect of this parameters on gain and bandwidth. The model equations are numerically handled and processed via specially cast software (Matlab). The gain is computed over the spectral optical wavelengths (1.45µm ≤ λ signal ≤ 1.65µm). Keywords: Raman amplifier, Distributed multi-pumping

Raman amplifier (DMRA), Raman gain, pumping power and wavelength, ultra wide-wavelength division multiplexing (UWWDM).

1. Introduction There are mainly three reasons for the interest in Raman amplifier. First its capability to provide distributed amplification second is the possibility to provide gain at any wavelength by selecting appropriate pump wavelengths, and the third is the fact that the amplification bandwidth may be broadened simply by adding more pump wavelengths. An important feature of the Raman amplification process is that amplification is achievable at any wavelength by choosing the pump wavelength in accordance with the signal wavelength [1]. The term distributed amplification refers to the method of cancellation of the intrinsic fiber loss. the loss in distributed amplifiers is counterbalanced at every point along the transmission fiber in an ideal distributed amplifier [1]. In the late eighties, Raman amplification was perceived as the way to overcome attenuation in optical fibers and research on long haul transmission was carried out demonstrating transmission over several thousand kilometers using distributed Raman amplification. However, with the development and

commercialization of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers through the early nineties, work on distributed Raman amplifiers was abandoned because of its poor pump power efficiency when compared to erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs). In the mid-nineties, highpower pump lasers became available and in the years following, several system experiments demonstrated the benefits of distributed Raman amplification including repeater-less undersea experiments, high-capacity terrestrial as well as submarine systems transmission experiments, shorter span single-channel systems including 320 Gbit/s pseudo linear transmissions, and in soliton systems [1]. distributed Raman amplifiers improved noise performance because of amplification at any wavelength controlled simply by selecting the appropriate pump wavelength, extended bandwidth achieved by using multiple pumps when compared to amplification using EDFAs, and finally control of the spectral shape of the gain and the noise figure, which may be adjusted by combining and controlling the wavelength and power among multiple pumps [1]. The use of distributed Raman amplification has already been demonstrated in ultra-high-capacity optical communication systems as the enabling method to transmit 40Gbit/s per channel in a wavelength-division-multiplexed transmission system [1]. Ultra long-haul (ULH) and ultrahigh-capacity (UHC) dense wavelength-division-multiplexed (DWDM) optical communication systems have recently attracted considerable attention due to their potential to greatly reduce bit-transport costs while addressing the ever-increasing demand for voice and data traffic. A flexible all-Raman pumping scheme, including forward-and backward-pumping of the fiber span and backward pumping of the dispersion compensation modules (DCMs), can be used as a common platform

yielding excellent system performance for 10 Gb/s ULH and 40Gb/s signals and ULH transmission over 2500 km in a hybrid configuration [2]. It was shown how that amplification scheme provides enough gain to handle discrete losses from optical add/drop multiplexers (OADMs) inserted along the transmission. A comprehensive experimental investigation of an all-Raman ultra wide signal-band transmission system for both 10 and 40 Gb/s line rates was done [2]. The most important feature of Raman-gain spectrum is that the peak-gain wavelength only depends on the pump wavelength. The peak-gain wavelength for each pump still exists although the total gain spectrum of a multi-pumped fiber Raman amplifier (FRA) is the comprehensive result of all pumps [3].

bandwidth are processed through a numerical solution of the mathematical model. 2. Mathematical Model In the present section, we cast the basic model and the governing equation to process N-Raman amplifiers in a cascaded form of special pumping powers Pr1, Pr2, Pr3, Pr4, ……., PrN and corresponding pumping wavelengths λr1, λr2, λr3, λr4, ……., λrN. The map of δ-g is as shown in Fig. 1, where δ is the Raman shift and g is the Raman differential gain coefficient; both were cast based on [7-11] as: 1

Two critical merits of distributed Raman amplifier (DRA) are the low noise and the arbitrary gain band. Experiments show that 2.5 Gb/s system could be up graded to 10Gb/s by only adding a Raman amplifier [4]. Raman amplifiers pumped at multiple wavelengths draw significant attention in high-speed long-haul WDM transmission, for example, because of their wideband flat-gain profile (100nm with 12 channelWDM pumping) and superior signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance. However, they require numbers of high power pump lasers to achieve high-gain and high bandwidth which makes it very expensive at the initial deployment stage where the WDM bandwidth is not in full use. While modular band-by-band and high upgrade like EDFA-based WDM systems reduces system introduction cost very much, in which either C or L-band EDFAs can be added later when a new bandwidth becomes needed. However, such modular addition of amplifiers is not possible for a DRA in which a transmission fiber is shared as common-gain medium. Neglecting nonlinear pump interaction or saturation WDM-pumped Raman amplifier gain can be approximated as the linear superposition of Raman gains induced by each pump laser [5]. Currently, RFAs are the only silica-fiber based technology that can extend the amplification bandwidth to the S band while providing performance and reliability comparable with those of EDFAs. However, the noise figure remains high compared to that of the C and L bands [6]. In this paper, the parameters affecting on Raman gain coefficient and Raman differential gain and

Figure 1 Gain, g, of multi-pump Raman amplifier.

The map of δ–g shown in Fig. 1 describes the basic model. This section depends on the position of the gain of each amplifier with wavelength, where the gain of each amplifier consists of three parts (three equations). A special software program is used to indicate the position of δo,i or λo,i and studying the total gain of the amplifiers. In this case, the basic model depends on using more than one amplifier which is put in a cascaded form to increase the bandwidth of the amplifier to multiplexing more signals in the transmission system. The overall amplifier bandwidth increases and the gain flatness improved depend on the position of each amplifier corresponding to other amplifiers. This is achieved by more trials of changing of δo,i or λ o,i for each amplifier. The general equations representing the Raman gain in the three regions are respectively [11]. ,

By changing this position, the total bandwidth and the flatness of the amplifier are changed. We are interested in obtaining a large bandwidth with flatness by more trials of changing δo.i or λo,i. In this case, one uses δ > δr or λ > λr and δo ≥ δr or λo ≥ λr, where λr is Raman pump wavelength. Raman differential gain constant, g, and the effective core area, A, are defined as [8]: 1.34

Simullation Results and Discu ussions The gainn and bandw width for disstributed muulti-pump Raman amplifier (DMRA) is optimized. Optimal results show s that thhe parameteers effecting on the Raman gain and baandwidth, whhere the gainn of the amplifierr change according to the pumping p wavelenggths and rellative refracttive index difference and also the banddwidth, ∆λr, can be evidently e broadeneed by meanns of increasing the number of pumps and a accordingg to the posittion of each amplifier a and the gain is increeases with increase the relative refractivee index differrence. In this paaper, we disccuss two diffeerent modelss namely four andd eight Ramaan pumping optical waveelengths and pum mping power are shown in the table I and II

Then for Raman ampliffier to get amplifier with high gain must be b design orr used fiber with high rellative refractive inndex differennce and alsso used pum mping source suitable wavelength's whhere if pum mping wavelength increased w we get lossess is increasess and this not requuired in desiggn. So, the relative refracctive index difference d off the materials must m be takeen in accouunt in design for optical amplifiers.

This figgure is plottedd at different values of relative refractive index diffference, where w pum mping wavelengthss for optical signals is in a range from m 1.4 to 1.55 µm. This range iss suitable forr Raman ampplifier to avoid noise and lossees.

we get if rellative refractiive index diffference increeases the mode field radii ddecreases buut the numeerical aperture inncreases annd we neeed the two are increases inn design, too avoid lossees in transm mitted signal whenn you are cooupling betw ween the diffferent fibers this achieved bby using soources with high pumping waavelength's.

Where iff pumping waavelength abbove 1.55 µm m we get losses and noise is laarge and thiss not requiredd for the signal trransmitted (this ( is disaadvantages) but we need am mplifier withh high gain, so to avvoid this problem must be inncrease relattive refractivve index differencce to get balaance betweeen gain and pumping p wavelenggth. Then, anny source haaving a pumpping wavelenngth and pumpingg power muust be suitaable for thee choice design too obtain suitaable gain andd bandwidth.

The mode field f radii aree proportionaal to the pum mping wavelengthss. Figure 55, explains this relatioon at special values of the relative refractive index i difference in i the waveelength rangee 1.4 – 1.5 µm. Then, one can c get the R Raman gain which w dependds on pumping wavelengths w and mode filed radii which w depend on the t relative reefractive indeex differencee.

Relativee Refractivee Index Diffference

The modde field radii are inversely proportionaal to the relative refractive r index differencee. Figure 4, explains thee variation off the mode fiield radii with relaative refractive Index difference at special pumpingg wavelengths.

If pumping wavelength increase thee mode field radii increase soo, in design we must takke in accounnt the pumping wavelength w and also relative index i difference where, w if relative index difference incrrease the mode fieeld radii decrreases.

Since Ramaan gain is prooportional to relative refraactive index differrence and eeffective coree area, thenn this result is very v useful to indicate the parameters affecting in Raman gain to obtain a maximum m annd flat gain.

This curve is plotted for sppecial value of mode fieldd radii of pumpingg signal, wr .

In design too avoid this disadvantagge must be used source withh high pum mping waveelength in range r (1.45µm ≤ λ signal ≤ 1.55µm) becausee of it is impoortant for used fibeer with effecttive core areaa is large to avoid a the losses in signals w which occurs when couupling between diffferent fibers..
