Dissipative soliton resonance (DSR) is a phenomenon where the energy of a soliton in a dissipative system
increases without limit at certain values of the system parameters. We have found that the DSR phenomenon
is robust and does not disappear when perturbations are introduced into the model. In particular, parameter
management is benign to DSR: the resonance property remains intact even when a pulse experiences periodic
changes of system parameters in a laser cavity. We also show that high energy pulses emerging from a laser
cavity can be compressed to shorter durations with the help of linear dispersive devices. © 2008 Optical So-
