Abstract
The chromatic dispersion in standard single mode fibers puts a fundame ntal limit to the transmission distance in conventional high speed opt ical communication systems. Soliton transmission is a very promising t echnique to avoid this limitation. We demonstrate 4 Gb/s soliton trans mission on 310 km standard non dispersion-shifted single mode fiber us ing 55 ps pulses from a gain-switched MQW laser diode. This technique is applicable for upgrading the transmission capacity in dispersion li mited terrestrial communication systems.
