Abstract

Some years ago it was suggested1 that truly all-optical long distance transmission could be achieved through use of nondispersive soirton pulses combined with a distributed Raman gain to overcome the usual fiber loss. The potential for such a system is thought to be very large—many Gbits/s over thousands of kilometers in a single channel and with wavelength multiplexing, perhaps as much as 100 Gbit/s in a single fiber.2 Recently, we began a series of experiments to test the basic principles of such long distance repeateriess transmission3 for distances of up to 6000 km.
