Abstract
After comparing Raman and erbium amplification, this talk focuses on why distributed Raman amplification has become a catalyzing technology to ultra-long 10 Gb/s and future 40 Gb/s transmission. A review of how Raman systems work and recent transmission results underscore’s it’s potential.
