description

Pulse-pulse interaction is a major issue in the development of high-repetition rate fiber laser sources or soliton-based optical transmission lines. The design of a suitable level of nonlinear dissipation, through nonlinear filters or saturable absorbers for instance, is able to improve significantly the stability of multiple pulse operation. The concept of a dissipative soliton has become an important tool for the exploration and the analysis of the multiple pulse dynamics, with mode-locked lasers and regenerated transmission lines as important applications [1,2]. Above all, the study of dissipative solitons has become a fertile area of nonlinear science with multidisciplinary implications [1–4].
