The numerical simulations indicate that stable stationary trains of pulses may be formed in the cavity, independent of the sign of the dispersion, and simple analytical expressions for the sideband gain are obtained by using an average pulse formalism.Abstract:
A synchronously pumped modulational-instability ring laser with a nonlinear dispersive fiber can be operated in both the anomalous and the normal dispersion regimes. We obtain simple analytical expressions for the sideband gain in the cavity by using an average pulse formalism. The numerical simulations indicate that stable stationary trains of pulses may be formed in the cavity. This is independent of the sign of the dispersion.read more

Temporal cavity solitons in one-dimensional Kerr media as bits in an all-optical buffer

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the first experimental observation of temporal cavity solitons, which are packets of light persisting in a continuously driven nonlinear resonator and are used to demonstrate storage of a data stream for more than a second.

Suppression of interactions in a phase-locked soliton optical memory.
TL;DR: A perturbative and numerical analysis reveals the conditions for suppressing the interaction between adjacent phase-locked solitons in asoliton optical memory that may permit the permanent storage of a soliton bit pattern in a diffractive or dispersive ring cavity.

Modulation instability induced by cross-phase modulation.
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a new kind of modulation instability can occur even in the normal-dispersion regime when two copropagating optical fields interact with each other through cross-phase modulation initiated by the nonlinearity.

Tunable coherent IR and FIR sources utilizing modulational instability
A. Hasegawa,W. Brinkman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a tunable coherent infrared (IR) source is presented, which utilizes the sideband produced by modulational instability of an optical signal in a fiber which results from a combination of anomalous dispersion and the nonlinear Kerr effect.

Additive pulse mode locking
TL;DR: In this paper, a new principle of additive pulse mode locking is analyzed, which is shown to be operative in two-cavity soliton lasers, but it also permits mode locking with fibers in the positive dispersion regime.

TL;DR: It is found that a good description of the propagation can be analytically obtained by a simple truncated three-wave model and may give an important physical insight in different processes, such as frequency conversion of modulated signals, all-optical generation of temporal codes, and the onset of spatiotemporal chaos.
