Opt Express. 2020 Jun 8;28(12):18296-18303. doi: 10.1364/OE.394883.

Abstract

The performance of a multi-span transmission link compensated with a >75nm broadband discrete Raman amplifier is experimentally evaluated using multiple DP-x-QAM modulation formats over a multi-channel C + L band WDM grid with up to 182 × 50 GHz spaced channels.
