By incorporating a length of single-mode, polarization-preserving fiber into the feedback loop of a mode-locked color-center laser (lambdaapprox.1.4--1.6 ..mu..m), we have created a device that we call the soliton laser. Pulse width (2.0 to 0.21 psec obtained to data) is determined by fiber length, in accordance with N = 2 soliton behavior. Production of <50-fsec-wide pulses is indicated for compression in an additional, external fiber.
