Abstract
Raman amplification is a key technology for unrepeatered transmissions as it allows to widely increase both span length and optical bandwidth in a very simple manner. We review in this paper recent record demonstrations and installed systems where Raman amplification fulfills its role as a mean to reach very long repeaterless distances and to expand into new spectral areas.
