Experimental investigation of soliton optical phase jitter

摘要

The soliton optical phase stability versus amplified spontaneousnnoise is investigated in a recirculation loop experiment in the presencenof in-line filters. The behavior of phase fluctuations is shown to be inngood agreement with numerical simulations. The phase standard deviationnis kept below 0.15×Π for distances up to 8000 km. We,ntherefore, demonstrate the feasibility of phase-shift keying on solitonsnfor long-haul transmission systems
