Abstract :
The authors discuss the performance of a low-timing-jitter, diode-driven, Nd:YLF pumped 5 ps, 30-40 GHz soliton source based on beat-signal conversion in a dispersion-decreasing fibre. In addition, the first experimental demonstration is reported of long-distance (205 km) propagation of such pulse streams in an amplified transmission line incorporating three amplifiers at 50 km amplifier spacing
