Nj. Doran et al., OPTIMIZING TRANSMISSION CAPACITY - LONG-DISTANCE AND TERRESTRIAL APPLICATIONS, Philosophical transactions-Royal Society of London. Physical sciences and engineering, 354(1708), 1996, pp. 679-694
This paper identifies the important limiting processes in transmission
capacity for amplified soliton systems. Some novel control techniques
are described for optimizing this capacity. In particular, dispersion
compensation and phase conjugation are identified as offering good co
ntrol of jitter without the need for many new components in the system
. An advanced average soliton model is described and demonstrated to p
ermit large amplifier spacing. The potential for solitons in high-disp
ersion land-based systems is discussed and results are presented showi
ng 10 Gbit s(-1) transmission over 1000 km with significant amplifier
spacing.
