A Closed-form Expression for the Gaussian Noise Model in the Presence of Raman Amplification

A closed-form model for the nonlinear interference (NLI) in Raman amplified links is presented, the formula accounts for both forward (FW) and backward (BW) pumping schemes and inter-channel stimulated Raman scattering (ISRS) effect. The formula also accounts for an arbitrary number of pumps, discrete or distributed Raman amplification setup, wavelength-dependent fibre parameters, and launch power profiles. The formula is suitable for ultra-wideband (UWB) optical transmission systems and is applied in a system with 13 THz optical bandwidth corresponding to transmission over the S-, C-, and L- band. The accuracy of the closed-form formula is validated through comparison with numerical integration of the Gaussian noise (GN) model and split-step Fourier method (SSFM) simulations in a point-to-point transmission link.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2210.0906

A Modulation-Format Dependent Closed-form Expression for the Gaussian Noise Model in the Presence of Raman Amplification

A closed-form expression that estimates the nonlinear interference of arbitrary modulation formats in Raman amplified links is presented. Accounting for any pumping schemes and inter-channel stimulated Raman scattering effect, the formula is applied to an optical bandwidth of 20~THz and validated using numerical simulations.Comment: Presented at European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC) 202

A Closed-Form Expression for the Gaussian Noise Model in the Presence of Inter-Channel Stimulated Raman Scattering Extended for Arbitrary Loss and Fibre Length

A closed-form formula for the nonlinear interference (NLI) estimation using the Gaussian noise (GN) model in the presence of inter-channel stimulated Raman scattering (ISRS) is derived. The formula enables accurate estimation of the NLI evolution along any portion of the fibre span together with arbitrary values of optical fibre losses. The formula also accounts for wavelength-dependent fibre parameters, variable modulation formats and launch power profiles. The formula is suitable for ultra-wideband (UWB) optical transmission systems and its accuracy is assessed for a system with 20 THz optical bandwidth over the entire S-, C-, and L- band through comparison with numerical integration of the ISRS GN model and split-step Fourier method (SSFM) simulations in point-to-point transmission and inline NLI estimation scenarios
