Abstract
Depletion of soliton energy by four-wave mixing between a soliton and amplifier noise in a system with 100-km amplifier spacing is studied. Dispersion exponentially decreasing fiber is used as transmission fibe r. Improvement of the system by the use of a sliding-frequency filter to reduce noise power and the depletion of soliton energy is shown. Th e system can be further improved by compensation for depleted soliton energy. (C) 1997 Optical Society of America.
