Abstract
40Gbit/s soliton transmission over 400km (57km amplifier spacing) of instal led lines without in-line control has been achieved. The maximum transmissi on penalties for parallel polarised and polarisation division multiplexed s oliton transmission were similar to 4 and 1 dB, respectively. The transmiss ion distance is the longest ever reported for a field trial with a single w avelength bit rate > 20 Gbit/s for any optical transmission format. The pol arisation mode dispersion was numerically found to completely dominate the system performance.
