Abstract :
A train of fundamental solitons at 1.53 mu m has been generated, with pulse durations of 1.5-3.0 ps, at a repetition rate in the range 80-130 GHz from the output of two CW single mode DFB lasers amplified in an Er-doped fibre. The transformation of the beat signal into a soliton train resulted from nonlinear propagation of the signal in a special fibre with dispersion decreasing along the length.
