Summary:A system and method for Raman amplification of optical signals in a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical transmission system includes transmitting optical signals within a transmission band via an optical waveguide between a transmitter and a receiver, Raman-amplifying the optical signals with at least one pump so as to distort an amplification profile of the Raman amplification within the transmission band, and rectifying the distorted amplification profile so as to compensate for the distortion.
