Influence of the pumping scheme in double-pass discrete Raman-fiber amplifiers

We demonstrate the effect of the pumping scheme in a double-pass discrete Raman-fiber amplifier. The copumping scheme outperforms the counterpumping scheme for small and medium signal power ranges. The performance discrepancy of about 0.3 dB is measured. However, the counterpumping scheme performs b...
