Abstract
The concept of self-similarity has been predicted theoretically and observed experimentally in an optical fiber amplifier. Recently, self-similar propagation in laser oscillators with normal GVD has also been observed. We report here a new all-fiber ring similariton laser scheme with Raman amplification designed with the aid of a full theoretical model of its operation. The output similariton pulses of the laser have a true parabolic shape and a linear chirp.
