<p>A method for upgrading bandwidth in a fiber optic system utilizing Raman amplification and having an initial band capacity provided by a plurality of pumps including the steps of identifying a fiber optic system to be upgraded (12), activating at least one new pump (16) in the fiber optic system necessary to provide upgraded band capacity to the fiber optic system while retaining the initial band capacity provided by the plurality of pumps, and adjusting power of at least one pump of the fiber optic system to minimize gain ripple or signal output ripple (18).</p> |
