Abstract :
Summary from only given. We present a self-induced modulational instability (MI) ring laser based on highly nonlinear dispersion shifted fibre (HNL-DSF) and an EDFA that produces a CW 260-GHz soliton train. Pulses exist in the average soliton regime since, for example, in the HNL-DSF, where self phase modulation (SPM) is dominant, the dispersion is normal.
