Abstract :
The energy quantisation effect for dissipative solitons is experimentally observed in an erbium-doped fibre laser with large normal-cavity-dispersion. Experimental results reveal that the steady dissipative solitons tend to be restricted by an upper energy limit and the increment of pump power approaches to a constant with respect to the pulse number.
