Comparative analysis of hybrid in line EDFA/Raman with simple raman amplification in WDM ring PON for C+L band

In this paper, we investigate through simulation the feasibility of amplification solutions for WDM ring PON encompassing C+L transmission bands. The system under analysis is composed by a bidirectional pump at 1480 nm with 1 W of power in each direction and 16 channels (8 C band + 8 L band). The simulation describes an 80 km WDM ring with 8 nodes in which 2 channels are added/dropped. Two scenarios were implemented, one with simple Raman amplification that considers that all the pump power travels along the ring being selected the optimal order to drop channels and another with C- band in line EDFA in the link mid length that performs and additional amplification on C band signals. The results of both approaches are compared and their suitability for practical PON is analyzed.
