Generation of subpicosecond solitons in active mode-locked fiber lasers is investigated, both analytically and numerically. The laser model takes into account the pulse dispersive spreading, self-phase modulation, finite amplification bandwidth, pump depletion and Raman self-frequency shift. The analytical theory, which is based on the inverse scattering method perturbation approach, allows the authors to calculate the steady-state parameters of the soliton pulse. The analytic predictions are confirmed by numerical simulation. It is shown that the minimal pulse duration may be achieved provided that the Raman self-frequency shift is suppressed by the phase moderator.
