Single-channel 40 Gbit/s, 5000 km straight-linesoliton transmission experiment using periodic dispersion compensation

Abstract
The authors have demonstrated the effectiveness of periodic dispersion compensation and polarisation-division-multiplexing for timing jitter reduction in 40 Gbit/s single-channel soliton transmission, and have succeeded in 5000 km straight-line transmission experiments at 40 Gbit/s for the first time.
