Abstract

Summary form only given. There is a large interest in soliton generation in fiber modelocked lasers. Several types of passively modelocked lasers have been demonstrated, which include the figure-of-eight laser and the polarization mode locked laser. However the dynamics and stability of such lasers are still far from complete understanding. In our work we study the pulse propagation in a modelocked laser with fast saturable absorption, using the quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation model.
