| Abstract: | A wide-band(1530-1610 nm)and high efficient double-pass discrete Raman amplifier is reported.In this Raman amplifier,by using a one-end gilded fiber as the broadband reflector,signals and multi-pump are both reflected to propagate through the gain fiber for a second time.An increase in net gain of more than 150% has been achieved compared with that in the typical co-pumped Raman amplifier.The advantages of this proposed new configuration have been experimentally studied by comparing with the recently existing Raman amplifier configurations. |
