A. Altuncu et al., SPECTRAL CHARACTERISTICS OF LONG-SPAN DISTRIBUTED ERBIUM-DOPED FIBER AMPLIFIERS (DEDFAS) FOR SOLITON TRANSMISSION, Electronics Letters, 33(18), 1997, pp. 1558-1559
The authors present a detailed spectral characterisation of an optimal
ly designed 60km long DEDFA for soliton transmission. From this. the o
ptimum wavelength for single channel and WDM soliton transmission in s
uch systems and the minimum allowable soliton pulsewidth can both be d
etermined. The results also indicate that the use of in-line soliton g
uiding filters may not be necessary in single channel systems.
