Abstract :
20 Gbit/s time/polarisation multiplexed solitons have been transmitted over 10 Mm in a recirculating loop with a 63 km amplification span using the sliding-frequency guiding filter soliton control technique. The soliton energy, sliding rate, filter bandwidth and wavelength margins for a BER of 10-9 have been measured at 6 Mm
