Theory of the Soliton Laser

Abstract

An analytic theory of the soliton laser has been developed to describe the steady-state operation of the recent experiment by Mollenauer and Stolen.1 The theory focuses on the fiber as the key element in shaping the pulse and shows that the synchronously pumped laser section acts as an injection-locked, mode-locked amplifier, providing slightly dispersive time-dependent gain to the soliton (Fig. MGG2-1). In contrast to active and passive mode locking, where pulse shortening is achieved by resistive means, the pulse-shortening mechanism in the soliton laser is reactive.
