Abstract

Dissipative solitons are localized structures (LSs) found in a plethora of different fields of sciences, ranging from plant population ecology to nonlinear optics [1]. These states form due to a double balance between antagonistic phenomena: on one hand dispersion counteract nonlinearity, while on the other hand energy gain balances losses. In optical resonators, LSs appear in the form of dark and bright pulses of light, and underline important applications such as the generation of frequency combs [2].
