Abstract
Cavity solitons (CS) are controllable localized light peaks on a low-intensity, homogeneous (or quasi–homogeneous) background and offer a variety of applications from optical memories to all-optical delay lines. A semiconductor laser (VCSEL) with an intracavity saturable absorber realizes a cavity soliton laser, where the CS sit over a zero-intensity background, and may behave as independent microlasers.
