With the rapidly increasing number of coherent network deployments, there is a vast roll-out of Raman amplifiers to enhance Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio (OSNR) for the purpose of increasing transmission distance without opto-electronic regeneration and preparing the network for future capacity upgrades using 8QAM and 16QAM.

Although it uses fiber that has already been installed, Raman deployment is not as simple as it may seem. Knowledge about the fiber infrastructure, fiber type and quality, and connector loss is required, since fiber parameters can impact key system performance parameters, such as signal gain, signal quality, and DWDM system capacity, and reach.

In this webinar, you will learn about:

What a Raman amplifier is and why the new hype around this technology
Factors optimizing the gain: what they are and how to make the most of the fiber
Critical parameters to check and validate before deploying Raman amplification
