Performance Optimization of the Multi-Pumped Raman Optical Amplifier using MOICA

Abstract

In order to achieve the best gain profile for multi pump distributed Raman amplifiers in Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) transmission systems, the power and wavelength of pumps, the type of pumping configuration and the number of pump signals are the most important factors. In this paper, using a Multi-Objective Imperialist Competition Optimization Algorithm (MOICA) with lowest power consumption and lowest number of pumps, we propose the most uniform gain profile for two types of pumping configurations in S- band and compare the results. Considering the design conditions including the type of pumping configuration, fiber length, fiber type and number of pump signals and using the multi-objective algorithm, we propose a method which can be used to achieve a gain level in which the amplifier has the lowest power consumption and lowest gain ripple. According to this, we can design a powerful WDM transmission system by Distributed Raman Amplifier (DRA) with a good performance and efficiency.
