TLDR
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.Abstract:
In an optical-communications system using soliton pulse transmission, periodic amplification is needed to maintain the energy of the solitons. We show that amplifier noise causes a soliton's group velocity to undergo a random-walk process. The resultant timing errors at the receiver limit the system's product of length times bit rate, in one example, to about 24 000 GHz-km.read more

Noise of mode-locked lasers
Hermann A. Haus,Antonio Mecozzi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a theory of noise in mode-locked laser systems was developed that applies to additive pulse and Kerr lens mode-locking systems, and the effect of gain fluctuations, mirror vibrations, and index fluctuations were determined.

Soliton propagation in long fibers with periodically compensated loss
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study soliton propagation in an all-optical, long-distance communications system where fiber loss is periodically compensated by Raman gain and find that distortion of the transmitted pulses from true solitons shows a peak near z 0 = L/8 where L and z 0 are the amplification and soliton periods, respectively.

Experimental demonstration of soliton propagation in long fibers: loss compensated by Raman gain.
TL;DR: With sufficient Raman gain to compensate exactly for net fiber energy loss, distortionless propagation of 10-psec FWHM fundamental soliton pulses over a 10-km length of single-mode fiber is demonstrated.
