Investigating the Impact of Hybrid Raman-EDFAs in the Cost and Energy Efficiency of C+L Wideband Optical Networks

This paper investigates the impact of using hybrid Raman EDFAs in the total number of required transponders and power consumption of a wideband C+L optical network. Results are obtained through ILP modeling.
