Measurement of timing jitter in filter-guided soliton transmission at 10 Gbits/s and achievement of 375 Gbits/s-Mm, error free, at 12.5 and 15 Gbits/s.
We report on extensive measurement, as a function of distance, of the timing jitter in sliding-frequency-filterguided soliton transmission at 10 Gbits/s. The measured jitter is separated into a sliding-filter-damped, Gordon-Haus term, a similarly damped acoustic term, and a recently predicted contribution from scatter in pulse polarizations. Measured error-free (bit-error rate <10(-10)) distances at 10, 12.5, and 15 Gbits/s are 35, 30, and 25 Mm, respectively.
