Abstract

Rayleigh scattering is one of the important factors affecting the performance of Raman fiber amplifiers (RFA). Effects of Rayleigh scattering on RFA, such as noise, crosstalk and power penalty, are investigated systematically. To reduce influence of Rayleigh scattering, optimum pump power, bidirectional pumping and isolators inserted are introduced, from which RFAs can be designed optimally.
