Abstract

Raman amplifiers (RAs) can be represented as one of the best solutions for transmission techniques, where they can compensate attenuation and transmit the optical signal to long-haul distances. This work proposes and investigates two cascaded models (multi-stages of RAs) for enhancing the received power and the overall gain. This study includes three fiber types: Dispersion Shifted Fiber, Truewave and Freelight fibers at 100 km distance and pumping powers of 500, 600 and 700 mW. The obtained results reveal that the best results gain is 46.46 dB and the power of output signal is 42.47 dBm achieved at 700 mW pump power with Truewave fiber. The models are compared with previously published work, where the gain and the output signal power are enhanced to more than 66.58–85.84%.
