Gordon-Haus jitter reduction in enhanced power soliton systems

We have shown that the Gordon-Haus timing jitter in an enhanced power soliton transmission system is substantially lower than in a conventional soliton transmission line with equal path-average dispersion. The ability to simultaneously increase receiver SNR and reduce timing jitter will allow significant increases in amplifier spacing for given combinations of bit rate and system length. Examples of the possibilities allowed by this technique are presented
