40Gb/s dispersion managed soliton transmission over 1160km in standard fibre with a 75 km span length

It is shown that in strongly dispersion managed high bit rate systems it is important to correctly choose the pulse launch position. Using this technique error free transmission has been achieved of a 40 Gbit/s 231-1 nonlinear RZ PRBS over 1160 km in a dispersion compensated standard fibre propagation experiment with a 75 km standard fibre spa
