【Abstract】 New generation optical fiber communication system based on soliton can truly realize all-optical communication which does not need o-e-o conversion and can play an important role in ultra-long distance and ultrahigh capacity transmission. This represents a revolution in optical fiber communication technology. This article presents an introduction to the basic principle of soliton communication, the generation of soliton and the basic structure and key technologies of optical soliton communication system. The article also describes the advancement with regard to the study of optical soliton in recent years and some transmission experiments are elaborated. Lastly, the author predicts the prospect of optical soliton communication-it will be the most promising communication mode in 21st century.更多还原
