O. Leclerc et al., ROBUSTNESS OF 80 GBIT S (4X20 GBIT/S) REGENERATED WDM SOLITON TRANSOCEANIC TRANSMISSION TO PRACTICAL SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION/, Optical fiber technology, 3(2), 1997, pp. 117-119
We analyze the robustness of a novel type of transoceanic WDM soliton
system based on synchronous regeneration. The effect of uncertainty of
regenerator and filter passband position in a 4 X 20 Gbit/s WDM syste
m is studied numerically. The results indicate that practical implemen
tation of synchronous WDM soliton systems is theoretically possible. (
