3/19/2001, lightreading.com: Corvis announces industry-leading 3.2 terabits per second optical transport system Citat: "...CorWave LR is a dense-wavelength-division-multiplexing (DWDM) transmission system that can transport up to 320 STM-64 (10 Gbps) wavelengths for up to 800 km or 160 STM-64 (10 Gbps) wavelengths in each direction for up to 2,000 km...CorWave XL and CorWave XF ¾ Repeaterless terrestrial or undersea festoon links used to build, expand and link national and regional networks. CorWave XL and XF can transmit up to 800 gigabits per fibre for distances as long as 350 km, eliminating the use of in-line amplifiers...", backup

2004-05-24, Sciencedaily: Tightly Focused Laser Light Generates Nonlinear Effects And Rainbow Of Color Citat: "..."supercontinuum generation in nonlinear fibers." The phenomenon can be observed in a new class of optical fibers, called photonic crystal fibers. PCFs consist of a tiny solid glass core surrounded by a cladding, or casing, that contains air holes along the length of the fiber...As the IR light propagates, or spreads, through a 1-meter-long fiber, the light appears, first orange, then yellow and finally green...The visible lightwaves emerge from the fiber as white light, which contains all the colors of the spectrum..."
Webarchive backup: marconi.com: The Soliton Story Citat: "...At the heart of its pioneering work are “dispersion managed solitons” — a concept that has already enabled world-record transmission distances — a standard fiber carrying 10 Gbit/s across 16,000 km, for example, and 40 Gbit/s carried over 1,000 km...Solitons are essentially “stable pulses” that travel without changing their shape...Conventional optical networks lose 25 dB to 30 dB of signal per span between amplifiers, restricting a total span to around 1,000 km. Marconi SOLSTIS' goal is to achieve far longer distances with the same amplifier span, or enable longer spans over the original distance..."
