Abstract:
A source that exploits both soliton shaping and broadband high gain within a single fibre environment is particularly appealing. Recently, Smith demonstrated this simple idea with a mode-locked erbium fibre laser, Short picosecond structures with temporal spectral and power characteristics consistent with fundamental soliton shaping were observed. An important feature of the experiment was that only a short length of high gain single mode erbium doped fibre was used. This limit contrasts with previous studies and leads to soliton behavior that is significantly different from that commonly associated with propagation in long fibres with low gain. The results presented here form part of a theoretical study aimed at understanding the stable behavior of solitons reported in this short length high gain limit.
