TL;DR: By transmitting trains of 2 14 bit pseudorandom words in a recirculating loop containing strong, sliding-frequency guiding filters, error-free soliton transmission at 10 Gbit/s, single channel, and at 20 Gbps in a two channel WDM was demonstrated in this paper.

TL;DR: This work reports on extensive measurement, as a function of distance, of the timing jitter in sliding-frequency-filterguided soliton transmission at 10 Gbits/s, separated into a sliding-filter-damped, Gordon-Haus term, a similarly damped acoustic term, and a recently predicted contribution from scatter in pulse polarizations.

TL;DR: In this article, a 75-km recirculating loop of dispersion-shifted fiber (D = 1.38 psec/nm/km at λs), using low-gain erbium amplifiers spaced 25 km apart, displays jitter in pulse arrival times consistent with low error rates for transmission over 9000 km and for bit rates ≲4 Gbits/sec.

TL;DR: By transmitting trains of 213 bit pseudorandom words in a recirculating loop, the authors demonstrated error-free (measured BER ≥ 10−10) soliton transmission at 5 Gbit/s, single channel, and at 10 Gbits/s in a two channel WDM, over paths as great as 15 400 km and 11 250 km, respectively.

TL;DR: Error-free (bit error rate ≤ 10−10) soliton transmission at 2.5 Gbit/s over paths greater than 14,000 km, measured by a novel technique suitable for use in a recirculating loop, is reported in this paper.
