Abstract

We propose a new and efficient method to optimize the output gain profile based on the characteristics of a WDM pumped Raman gain spectra and the fact that different wavelength pumps have different impacts on the gain tilt. As an application, we optimize a 10 wavelength pumped fiber Raman amplifier in a short time, and a 80 nm flat gain band with less than 0.4 dB ripple has been derived. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract This paper proposes a novel, less expensive optical‐fiber Raman amplifier, which employs equally spaced low‐power laser diodes as pumps. The genetic algorithm (GA) is modified to optimize the configuration of the pumps. Simulation results show that, for operation in the bandwidth from 1
