Abstract
In a discrete Raman fiber amplifier, the gain strongly dependent on the variance between the pump and signal wave lengths. Raman amplification have an attractive characteristics is that, it can be used over a very wide wavelength range by multiplexing different wavelengths together. This paper illustrates that the net gain of the discrete Raman amplifier (DRA) is a function of the fiber length at different pump configurations: forward pumping (co-pumping), backward pumping (counter-pumping). This paper presented the effect of different pump configuration of the optical spectrum as well as OSNR..
