320 fs soliton generation with passively mode-locked erbium fibre laser

The generation of ultrashort 320fs soliton pulses at 1560nm from an all-fibre, passively mode-locked erbium fibre is reported. Repetition rates as high as 10GHz have been observed demonstrating the device's potential as a telecommunication soliton source.
