Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers are a major breakthrough for soliton communication. Most of the difficult problems preventing soliton communication recently were solved using erbium-doped optical fiber amplifiers (EDFAs). Progress in optical soliton communication has been very rapid, since the invention of the 1.48 /spl mu/m laser diode pumped EDFA, mainly because of its great potential for high-speed communication. This article describes how optical soliton communication has been established, together with the recently developed "soliton control" technique. >
