In this paper, the basic theoretical foundations regarding a DWDM [Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing] network when using Raman configurations with DCF [Dispersion Compensation Fiber] are studied, through the revision of: linear effects, such as noise, loss, chromatic dispersion and PMD [Polarization Mode Dispersion]; and nonlinear effects, such as Self-Phase Modulation [SPM], Cross-Phase Modulation [XPM] and Four-Wave Mixing [FWM], compared to Optical Monitoring Parameters [OPM].
