A Novel Dynamic Distributed Raman Amplifier for the Gain Excursion Assessment of Real-Time Optically Amplified Web.

In this article, the proposed Distributed Raman Amplifier (DRA) simulator is designed on the MATLAB Simulink platform. 16 channels DWDM in C-band (1544–1559 nm) and 32 channels CWDM system in S-, C- and L band (1460–1625 nm) are executed with data rate of 100 Gb/s. The designed standalone system realizes the various effects that may arise at the receiver output due to reconfiguration of channels in real-time dynamic WDM optical traffic. Gain excursion assessment, and bit error rate (BER) are investigated for 200 km long Fiber cable and 45 km of Raman amplifier in co-pumping, counter pumping and bidirectional pumping propagation.
