Summary :

We describe the applicability of photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with an enlarged effective area Aeff to a distributed Raman amplification (DRA) transmission. We investigate the DRA transmission performance numerically over a large Aeff PCF taking account of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improvement RSNR in the S, C, and L bands. We show that an RSNR of 3 dB can be expected by utilizing DRA with a maximum pump power of 500 mW when the Aeff of the PCF is 230 µm2.
