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

We have investigated, both experimentally and theoretically, the effect of channel
removal/addition on surviving channel power transients in distributed Raman fibre amplifier …

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

We theoretically analyse the dynamic response of amplifier cascades involving
combinations of unclamped and gain-clamped discrete fiber Raman amplifiers (DFRAs) in …

Transient gain response of optical amplifiers to the addition/removal of channels is a major
problem in multi-wavelength amplified optical networks. In order to avoid error bursts in the …

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

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 present a physically meaningful semianalytic gain-clamping algorithm for multipump
Raman fiber amplifier in large signal regime. By utilizing parameters from the steady state …
