E-band fibre Raman amplifier and implications of 1.4 µm water absorption

An E-band Raman amplifier in nonzero dispersion fibre is demonstrated. A 1.4 μm water absorption does not hinder the amplifier itself but its characterisation due to water vapour in the external measurement instruments. The E-band could be used to extend the optical telecommunications bandwidth usin...

Summary:An E-band Raman amplifier in nonzero dispersion fibre is demonstrated. A 1.4 μm water absorption does not hinder the amplifier itself but its characterisation due to water vapour in the external measurement instruments. The E-band could be used to extend the optical telecommunications bandwidth using nonzero dispersion fibre-based systems.
