M. Romagnoli et al., MULTISOLITON INTERACTION IN ACTIVELY MODE-LOCKED ERBIUM FIBER LASERS - THEORY AND EXPERIMENT, Optics communications, 108(1-3), 1994, pp. 65-70
We present a perturbative analysis of the interaction between three op
tical solitons in the presence of synchronous amplitude modulation and
bandwidth limited amplification. We predict and experimentally observ
e the self-generation of sequences of interacting soliton pulses with
a fixed temporal separation that circulate inside an actively mode-loc
ked erbium-doped fiber ring soliton laser.
