Abstract
Localized structures experimentally observed in nonlinear optical systems are frequently single peak structures of high emitted intensity sitting on a lower intensity background. However, generic theoretical works in unidimensional systems clearly show that single peak localized structures are only one of the numerous possible localized solutions, with the others being localized patterns including an arbitrary number of maxima. We demonstrate experimentally the coexistence of several of these states in a cavity soliton laser and show the dependance of the associated bifurcation diagram on the control parameters.
