  • Abstract
    Gain-guided solitons are experimentally observed in dispersion-managed fiber lasers with net positive group velocity dispersion. In contrast to the conventional solitons generated in fiber lasers with net negative dispersion, gain-guided solitons have steep spectral edge(s), large pulse width and broader bandwidth, which are also different to the dispersion-managed solitons generated in fiber lasers with net positive but near zero dispersion
