TLDR
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.Abstract:
It is shown that it should be 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. To accomplish this, the amplifiers must be kept close enough that their power gain is less than 10 dB. (It is noted that timing jitter and other noise effects measured in recent soliton transmission experiments carried out at low D and with amplifier spacing of 25 km are in close accord with predictions of this work). Frequency division multiplexing of several channels over the same fiber should also be possible, as solitons of different frequencies interact very weakly, provided the distance over which they pass through one another is large compared to the amplifier spacing. >read more

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.

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.

Random walk of coherently amplified solitons in optical fiber transmission
James P. Gordon,Hermann A. Haus +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that amplifier noise causes a soliton's group velocity to undergo a random-walk process, which limits the system's product of length times bit rate, in one example, to about 24 000 GHz-km.

Limitations on lightwave communications imposed by optical-fiber nonlinearities
TL;DR: In this paper, the power limitations of light-wave systems were analyzed as a function of a number of wavelength-multiplexed channels and methods for scaling these results with changes in system parameters were presented.

Phase noise in photonic communications systems using linear amplifiers
TL;DR: The question of phase detection in photonic communications systems that use linear optical amplifiers is considered, owing to the nonlinear Kerr effect in the transmission fiber, which limits the capacity and range of such systems to a range of a few thousand kilometers.

Interaction forces among solitons in optical fibers
TL;DR: It is shown here from the general two-soliton function that solitons in fibers exert forces on their neighbors that decrease exponentially with the distance between them and depend sinusoidally on their relative phase.
