Abstract
This paper presents the gain and noise figure optimization of distributed Raman fiber amplifier in S–band for single-mode fiber (SMF) and dispersion-shifted fiber (DSF) by using WDM pumping scheme. For single-mode fiber 16 dB gain with 50 nm bandwidth and for dispersion-shifted fiber 19 dB gain with 40 nm bandwidth is obtained. In both cases noise figure is also achieved..
