Generation and Propagation of Bound-State Pulses in a Passively Mode-Locked Figure-Eight Laser

Generation and Propagation of Bound-State Pulses in a Passively Mode-Locked Figure-Eight Laser

We have investigated the generation and propagation of robust bound-state pulses emitted from a passively mode-locked figure-eight laser with net-anomalous dispersion. Two pulses with the pulse duration of 1.3 ps and the separation of 2.2 ps exhibit a strongly modulated spectral profile. The experim...
