Abstract
We propose an innovative optimization framework using a multi-objective genetic algorithm to simultaneously optimize the launch power profile and design Raman amplifiers. Its flexibility allows us to find better solutions and reduce the number of Raman pumps. Moreover, we utilize the framework to compare the potential of four multi-band transmission systems leveraging hybrid fiber amplification. Simulation results highlight that com- plementing a C +L-band system with the S-band leads to higher total system capacity than using the E-band or interleaving data channels and Raman pumps.
