A hybrid Depressed-Cladding Erbium Doped Fiber (DC-EDF) together with a broadband Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA) to enhance the generation of Stokes and anti-Stokes in a 7.7 km long Dispersion Compensating Fiber (DCF) is proposed and demonstrated. The performance of the proposed system is com...
