Abstract
The transmission of solitons at 2.5 Gb / s with a gain-switched and op tically filtered laser diode as a signal source is analyzed. The effec tive pulsewidth as a function of distance for different filter locatio ns is numerically obtained. The pulse spreading observed in transmissi on experiments is shown to be due to the pulse-to-pulse frequency jitt er originated in the gain-switched laser diode. This spreading is supp ressed with the use of periodically spaced filters.
