Abstract
I will discuss the limits imposed by noise on the long-distance transmission of information via optical solitons. Phase noise prohibits the use of phase sensitive systems. Amplitude (energy) noise and timing noise (the Gordon-Haus effect) yield limitations on the information rate. The recent idea of soliton guiding using filters in the line reduces the soliton fluctuations at the expense of increased background noise.
