Abstract
We report the first experimental demonstration of frequency-guiding of soliton pulses by a UV-written photosensitive fiber filter in a multi channel system. Error free transmission at 2 x 5 Gb/s (bit error rate <10(-9)) was obtained over transoceanic distances by propagation in a recirculating loop, Numerical results confirm the reduction of the tem poral jitter and are found to be in agreement with the experimental re sults, We obtained similar transmissions with a bulk type Fabry-Perot filter. Due to the fiber implementation and potential low insertion lo ss, the UV-written fiber filter can advantageously replace bulk compon ents.
