Experimental Validation of Spectral-Spatial Power Evolution Design Using Raman Amplifiers

Mehran Soltani, Francesco Da Ros, Andrea Carena, Darko Zibar

We experimentally validate a machine learning-enabled Raman amplification framework, capable of jointly shaping the signal power evolution in two domains: frequency and fiber distance. The proposed experiment addresses the amplification in the whole C-band, by optimizing four first-order counter-propagating Raman pumps.
