Abstract:
An optical communication link that includes two nodes interconnected by an optical channel that comprises optical fiber(s), and that is used to communicate an optical signal comprising multiple optical signal wavelengths. The first node provides an optical signal onto the optical channel towards the second node, or receives an optical signal from the optical channel from the second node. A Raman pump provides Raman pump power into the optical fiber of the optical channel to thereby perform Raman amplification of the optical signal in the optical fiber. The second node determines a quality measurement of at least of optical wavelength signals transmitted by the first node to the second node. The second node also transmits information from the quality measurement back to the first node. A controller at the first node controls at least one parameter of the Raman pump in response to this transmitted information.

Claim (Index 9):
A first node of an optical communication link, the first node comprising:\n an optical channel interface for providing an optical signal onto an optical channel to a second node, or for receiving an optical signal from the optical channel from a second node, the optical channel comprising an optical fiber, the optical signal comprising a plurality of optical wavelength signals, the optical channel interface further for receiving from the second node a quality measurement taken at the second node of at least one of the plurality of optical wavelength signals transmitted by the first node to the second node; a Raman pump for providing Raman pump power into the optical fiber to thereby perform Raman amplification of the optical signal in the optical fiber; and a controller for controlling at least one parameter of the Raman pump in response to the received quality measurement.
