description

We report the observation of a novel feature in the pulse emission characteristics of a passively mode-locked fibre ring laser. In both anomalous and normal path-averaged dispersion regimes, we show switching from stationary multisolitons, which comprise a small number of pulses, to large soliton trains. The abrupt transition between the two emission regimes is manifested in both ways. © 2004
