The transmission of a 10 GHz repetition rate optical pulse train over a 28.5 km long distributed erbium-doped fibre amplifier is reported. In the linear dispersion regime, the pulses broaden so that the tails of adjacent pulses overlap. However, given sufficiently high signal powers, the optical Kerr effect causes pulse narrowing back to the original 18 ps pulsewidth.
