Abstract :
We demonstrate four-channel error-free repeaterless transmission using adiabatic propagation of optical solitons. We show that channel-to-channel cross phase modulation does not degrade system performance for as many as eight transmitted WDM channels. No stimulated Brillouin scattering threshold is observed up to launched powers of 29 dBm per channel.
