Hello everybody,

I am just wondering over a topic that keeps me busy, the periodical link 
design.

The question is if a Raman amplifiers should be deployed at the begin or 
at the end of a section sonsiting of SSMF, DCF and amplifier?

A lot of abbreviations... You will get more answers when you explain 
what its all about.

Ok, a Raman amplifier is used for optical cables
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raman_amplification
DCF seems to be "Double-clad fiber"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-clad_fiber
and SSMF is Standard-Singlemode-Fiber
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lichtwellenleiter
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-mode_optical_fiber

In radio frequency technology a preamplifier should be the first stage 
after the antenna to avoid additional noise. But there might be strong 
out-of band signals that need to be suppressed before the amplifier by 
band pass filtering.

At the end of the link shining backwards into the fiber. That way you 
can get a nearly lossless link and you don't have overly strong 
nonlinearities at the beginning of the link.
