title: Hybrid gain-flattened and reduced power excursion scheme for distributed Raman amplification.
abstract: We propose and evaluate through extensive numerical modelling a novel distributed hybrid amplification scheme combining first and second-order Raman pumping which gives reduced signal power excursion over a wide spatial-spectral range of 60 km × 80 nm in C + L-bands.
