TLDR
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.
Abstract
By transmitting trains of 213 bit pseudorandom words in a recirculating loop, we demonstrate ‘error-free’ (measured BER ≥10−10) soliton transmission at 5 Gbit/s, single channel, and at 10 Gbit/s in a two channel WDM, over paths as great as 15 400 km and 11 250 km, respectively.

Models of blocking probability in all-optical networks with and without wavelength changers

TL;DR: A traffic model for circuit switched all-optical networks (AONs) is introduced which is used to calculate the blocking probability along a path for networks with and without wavelength changers.

The sliding-frequency guiding filter: an improved form of soliton jitter control

TL;DR: By gradually translating the peak frequency of guiding filters along its length, this trick allows the use of stronger filters, and hence greater jitter reduction, without incurring the usual penalty of exponentially rising noise from the excess gain required to overcome filterloss.

Optical Solitons

TL;DR: The theory of optical solitons as well as their experimental investigation has progressed rapidly as discussed by the authors, and optical soliton concepts applied to the description of intense electromagnetic beams and ultrashort pulse propagation in various media have contributed much to this field.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the results of the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) sponsored Consortium on Wideband All-Optical Networks (COWOP) which is developing architectures, technology components, and applications for ultrafast 100 Gb/s time-division multiplexing (TDM) optical networks.

Harmonically mode-locked fiber ring laser with an internal Fabry-Perot stabilizer for soliton transmission.

TL;DR: A modulator-driven, erbium-fiber ring laser that produces chirp-free pulses with width adjustable over the range of 5 to 100 ps that has extended the error-free distance of a series of soliton transmission experiments by 2000-3000 km over previous results with a mode-locked semiconductor laser.

Polarization multiplexing with solitons

TL;DR: In this paper, a polarization/time division multiplexing technique was proposed to increase the bit-rate capacity of an ultra-long distance soliton transmission system with little or no significant increase in bit error rate.

Soliton transmission control.

TL;DR: The Gordon-Haus limit of long-distance soliton transmission can be partially overcome through the use of linear filters in each amplifier stage, and new limits are derived and they show the possibility of increased bit rates and/or distances of propagation.

Wavelength division multiplexing with solitons in ultra-long distance transmission using lumped amplifiers

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that solitons of different velocities are transparent to each other in a system using lumped amplifiers, as long as the length of the collision is long enough relative to the spacing between amplifiers or a possibly longer period of variation in some other parameter, such as the fiber's chromatic dispersion.

Effects of fiber nonlinearities and amplifier spacing on ultra-long distance transmission

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that it is possible to send error-free signals at a 2.5-Gb rate (or higher) over distances of at least 9000 km using an amplitude shift keying (ASK) soliton modulation system.
