  • Abstract
    In conclusion, we showed the behavior of bound solitons in a passively harmonic mode-locked figure-eight fiber laser with a DI-NOLM (nonlinear optical loop mirror). Autocorrelation trace and optical spectrum of bound solitons was presented. We have explained the spacing of quantized multi-pulses by using the gain depletion and recovery in the Ginzburg-Landow equation.
