Abstract :
We have experimentally demonstrated transmission of 800 fs solitons over 150 dispersion lengths of dispersion-shifted fibre. Experimental results clearly indicate that the use of readily available high power fibre lasers operating at 1535 nm makes it possible to use Raman gain in a simple, all-fibre configuration and achieve a 100 Gbit/s bit rate in a soliton transmission system
