description

We have experimentally observed the formation of stable pulse pairs with a π/2 phase difference in a passively mode-locked stretched-pulse fiber ring laser. We have developed a simplified theoretical model that, keeping the essential features of the experiment, reduces greatly the number of free parameters and solved it numerically. The agreement with the experimental results is excellent.
