This paper provides a detailed analysis of transient gain dynamics in saturated Raman
amplifiers fed by wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) signals. Such dynamics are due to …

Transient gain dynamics in doped-fiber amplifiers have been studied intensively in
connection with sudden channel addition or removal caused by either unintentional failures …

This paper has described measurements of transient gain effects caused by dropping
channels in a wide bandwidth backward pumped discrete Raman amplifier. These …

Gain transients in both copumped and counterpumped distributed Raman amplifiers were
investigated as a function of signal launch power, fiber type, and surviving signal …

Using a unified time-domain technique, we characterized and controlled Raman transient
effects and double Rayleigh backscattering noise. Raman power transients and double …

We study power transients in Raman fibre amplifiers (RFA). Transients are defined as the
output signal power response to abrupt change in the number of signal channels at the input …

Summary form only given. We describe the predominant sources of noise for various
amplifier configurations. In addition, we present the results of a successful 2.5 Gbit/s systems …

In this article, we investigate, both theoretically and experimentally, transient effects in
Raman fiber amplifiers (RFA) caused by channel addition/removal. A comprehensive large …

We develop a low complexity computational model for the gain profile and amplified
spontaneous emission noise for broadband counter-pumped Raman fiber amplifiers. The …
