An amplifier system includes: (i) a distributed Raman fiber amplifier adapted to amplify C and L-band signals and; (ii) a discrete Raman fiber amplifier module that includes a C-band amplification stage and an L-band amplification stage. The discrete Raman fiber amplifier module is operatively connected to the distributed Raman fiber amplifier and amplifies signals received from the distributed Raman fiber amplifier. In one embodiment the distributed Raman fiber amplifier and the discrete Raman fiber amplifier share optical pump power provided by the shared pump.
