Dear @mukherjeearup,
Before the effective area scaling along frequency was not considered in GNPy and the CR_NORM (the mode intensity Raman coefficient see Eq. 7 ref [1]) was erroneously obtained multiplying the Raman gain profile by the effective area of the SSMF in the C band. In this new version, the Raman gain coefficient that comes from an actual measurement at 1454 nm (206 THz) is properly scaled using both the frequency and effective area scaling. The old value of the Raman coefficient (CR_NORM * A_eff @ 1550 nm) can be approximately recovered using Eq. 8 in ref. [1].
