Abstract :
We report the observation of various multi-pulse dispersion-managed (DM) solitons in a passively mode-locked Erbium-doped fiber laser at near zero net cavity group velocity dispersion. The generated DM solitons are characterized by the Gaussian-like spectral profile with no sidebands. Bound states of multi-pulse DM solitons are also observed.
