Ring-laser solitons: A multipass approach
Abstract
We show that higher-order solitons are possible in ring lasers by deriving a modified nonlinear Schroedinger equation based on the discrete-element structure of the ring laser and discuss the implications of this derivation for soliton propagation in these lasers.
