G.665 (01/2005) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in t

10、he field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis.

11、The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolutio

12、n 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and

13、a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g. interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met.

14、The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibili

15、ty that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recom

16、mendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementors are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information

17、 and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database. ITU 2005 All rights reserved.

32、. 4.1.1 distributed Raman amplifier: Distributed Raman amplifiers are amplifiers where the amplification effect is achieved via a portion of the optical fibre used for transmission. Such amplifiers are deemed to be distributed since part or all of the transmission fibre is used for amplification pur

33、poses. Distributed Raman amplifiers can be further classified into three sub-categories: Forward pumped Raman amplifier: The pump energy and signal co-propagate along the transmission fibre. Reverse pumped Raman amplifier: The pump energy and signal propagate in opposite directions in the transmissi

34、on fibre. Bidirectionally pumped Raman amplifier: The pump energy is applied in both ends of the transmission fibre. In this case, part of the pump energy co-propagates with the signal and part of the pump energy counter-propagates with the signal inside the transmission media. 4.1.2 discrete Raman

35、amplifier: A discrete Raman amplifier is an amplifier for optical signals whose amplification effect is achieved via the fibre SRS effect, where all of the physical components of the amplifier are completely contained inside the device.
