F. Matera et al., ALTERNATE POLARIZATION SOLITON TRANSMISSION IN STANDARD DISPERSION FIBER LINKS WITH NO IN-LINE CONTROLS, Electronics Letters, 31(14), 1995, pp. 1172-1174
In an intensity-modulated direct-detection soliton transmission system
, the alternate modulation of the polarisation between two orthogonal
states allows an improvement in the distance/bandwidth limit imposed b
y the lumped amplification. Particular emphasis is given to the 10Gbit
/s transmission in standard dispersion fibre with no in-line controls
over distances up to 700km.
