Abstract :
We have previously proposed the concept of soliton transmission in dispersion-compensated standard fiber systems and shown experimentally that it is possible to propagate solitons over 2022 km in such a system. Here we present experimental results showing 10-Gbit/s data transmission, with acceptable Q values, over 5000 km. The advantages of using solitons are that they are resilient to polarization-mode dispersion, which is relatively high in standard fiber, and that they are compatible with the all-optical processing technologies currently being developed
