A multilevel soliton communication system

In conclusion, we have proposed and assessed a multilevel soliton communication system where at the multiplexing end, each soliton level is dedicated to a data channel, and demultiplexing is performed by filtering of channels each of which has experienced a different induced Raman self frequency shift after compression to the subpicosecond level at the receiver end. Preliminary calculations show that the system has the features of ultra high bit rate transmission with low error rate and is feasible with the current optical and electronic devices.
