A. Altuncu et al., 40GBIT S ERROR-FREE TRANSMISSION OVER A 68KM DISTRIBUTED ERBIUM-DOPEDFIBER AMPLIFIER/, Electronics Letters, 32(3), 1996, pp. 233-234
The error ratio peroformance of soliton like transmission over a 68km
distributed erbium fibre link is reported. The transmission link had a
net gain of only 2dB, with remarkably low signal power excursions and
a penalty of <1dB was observed at 40Gbit/s.
