Abstract
We propose and exemplify a novel concept of remotely pumped hybrid Raman and erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) in
the scenario of bi-directional wavelength division multiplexed-passive optical network (WDM-PON). In proposed system,
single fibre bragg grating (FBG) is used to reflect Residual pump power for multiband band amplification. The gain flattening
filter is also used to increase the gain flatness over effective gain bandwidth and as a result the gain variation is reduced to
~0.26 dB and ~0.47 dB for upper and lower arm, respectively..
Keywords
Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), Raman fibre amplifier (RFA), Erbium doped fibre amplifier (EDFA).
