CAPABILITY OF THE GUIDING-CENTRE SOLITON COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Features of optical pulse transmission in a guiding-centre soliton communication system are discussed. The pulse centre jitter and energy fluctuation due to ASE noise in optical amplifiers of the system and the relationships between these effects and the parameters of the system are analyzed. Capability of the maxi-mum length-bit-rate product is estimated, and the capability of the system is compared with that of the common lumped energy compensated system.
