Ds. Govan et al., LONG-DISTANCE 40-GBIT S SOLITON TRANSMISSION OVER STANDARD FIBER BY USE OF DISPERSION MANAGEMENT/, Optics letters, 23(19), 1998, pp. 1523-1525
We demonstrate, through numerical simulations, the possibility of tran
smitting solitonlike pulses over 2000 km of standard fiber at a single
-channel data rate of 40 Gbits/s. The system used here employs a novel
dispersion map to overcome the large fiber dispersion. The longest tr
ansmission distance was achieved with pulses that did not exhibit the
enhanced energy normally associated with dispersion management and ind
eed had lower energy than an equivalent average soliton. (C) 1998 Opti
