We found that the pumping configurations, ASE noise, and dispersion play an important role in network performance improving since it reduces noise figure and bit error rate (BER) of the system. Simulation results show that the lowest bit error rate and noise figure when using forward pumping configuration. Moreover, we have also compared ASE noise powers of the simulation with these of the experiment, they are match. date: 2014-08 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: https://eprints.uet.vnu.edu.vn/eprints/id/eprint/2070/1/Vol6No2_p7.pdf identifier: Bui, Trung Ninh and Nguyen, Quoc Tuan and Pham, Van Hoi (2014) Effects of ASE Noise and Dispersion Chromatic on Performance of DWDM Networks using Distributed Raman Amplifiers.
