Observation of autosoliton propagation in a dispersion-managed optical transmission system controlled by in-line nonlinear fiber loop switches is reported for what believed to be the first time. The based on strong dispersion map with large amplifier spacing. Operation at rates 10 and 40 Gbits/s demonstrated.
