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.
