Abstract

The invention concerns an optical fibre transmission system comprising the fibre line and co-propagating pumping means (5) for an amplification distributed by stimulated Raman scattering in the fibre line, wherein the fibre line has several sections (7, 8) separated by isolators (11). The length of each of the sections, the power of the pump and the type of fibre are selected so as to avoid oscillations caused by Raman gain and Rayleigh scattering. The isolators enable to inject a more powerful pump, while preventing the Raman gain in the fibre from causing oscillations resulting from Rayleigh scattering.
