G. Aubin et al., 20GBIT S SOLITON TRANSMISSION OVER TRANSOCEANIC DISTANCES WITH A 105KM AMPLIFIER SPAN/, Electronics Letters, 31(13), 1995, pp. 1079-1080
20 Gbit/s soliton transmission over large distances (150000km) is demo
nstrated in a recirculating loop with a record amplifier span of 105km
. For the first time, an electroabsorption modulator is used to provid
e the necessary in-line modulation control.
