Abstract
A gain-clamped-SOA is used as an inline amplifier in combination with a distributed Raman-fiber-amplifier. The amplifier has 20dB-gain and a noise figure below 2.7dB. The OSNRs after five spans of 80km are better than those of an equivalent EDFA. The amplifier shows negligible transients under dynamic add-drops.
