Field demonstration of distributed Raman amplification with 3.8 dB Q-improvement for 5/spl times/120 km transmission

The benefits of distributed Raman amplification are demonstrated in buried cabled field fiber. Performance improvement of 3.8 dB was achieved in a 5/spl times/120 km 10 Gbit/s transmission experiment using 650 mW Raman amplification in each span without apparent damage to the fiber plant.
