10-Gbit/s transmission over 8200 km with 81-km spacing using nonlinear non-soliton modulation format

Summary form only given. We have demonstrated the feasibility of high performance nonlinear but nonsoliton transmission in the normal dispersion regime. This kind of nonlinear nonsoliton transmission can be an alternative way to conventional or soliton systems. Further work will be needed to assess the real viability of such systems, mainly in the scope of wavelength-division multiplexing transmissions.
