Generation and control of solitons and soliton-like pulses in a femtosecond ring dye laser
Technical Report

OSTI ID:5200931
The generation of solitons and soliton-like pulses is controlled in a passively mode-locked dye laser by adjustment of group -velocity dispersion, self-phase modulation, and spectral filtering. Without spectral filtering, periodic pulse shaping reminiscent of higher-order solitons is observed. The pulses differ from the classic solitons because of additional shaping mechanisms. With spectral filtering, pulses are generated that can be described analytically as asymmetric N=2 solitons. The results indicate an effect analogous to the soliton self-frequency shift observed in optical fibers. The remarkable stability achieved allows for accurate characterization and control.
