4 x SONET OC-192 Field Installed Dispersion Managed Soliton System over 450km of Standard Fiber in the 1550nm Erbium Band

Standard single mode fiber is by far the most widely deployed fiber to date. Spurred by advances in optical amplifier technology, significant research over the past 8 years has investigated transmission techniques to increase the capacity and/or the distance achievable over this fiber type in the 15μm window.
