Ab. Grudinin et al., SUBPICOSECOND SOLITON TRANSMISSION OVER 22 KM OF DISPERSION-SHIFTED FIBER WITH LOSS COMPENSATED BY RAMAN GAIN, Electronics Letters, 32(6), 1996, pp. 573-575
We have experimentally demonstrated transmission of 800 fs solitons ov
er 150 dispersion lengths of dispersion-shifted fibre. Experimental re
sults clearly indicate that the use of readily available high power fi
bre lasers operating at 1535 nm makes it possible to use Raman gain in
a simple, all-fibre configuration and achieve a 100 Gbit/s bit rate i
n a soliton transmission system.
