Abstract
The maximum transmission length of data coded solitons at 5 Gbit/s has been investigated for a simple Er-doped fibre amplifier system withou t in-line soliton controls using short pulses generated by an InGaAsP electroabsorption modulator. The use or low fibre dispersion and large separation of solitons was effective in increasing the transmission d istance up to 13 100 km with less than 10(-9) bit error rate. The obta ined transmission capacity of 65 Tbit/s km is the largest reported for soliton transmission experiments without soliton control.
