Abstract :
A straight-line single-wavelength 40 Gbit/s soliton transmission experiment was conducted over eight spans of 100 km DS fibre without in-line control nor local dispersion management. Q2-factors of >17 dB were measured at 800 km for two extreme cases of dispersion map over each amplifier span. Power margins of 3 dB at Q2>16.2 dB (BER<10-10) were obtained over a 1 nm wavelength-range
