Abstract :
On basis of numerical simulation we study the peculiarities of the formation of ultrashort pulses, their interaction, the formation of stable multiple soliton structures in passive mode-locked fiber lasers with anomalous frequency dispersion. It is found the novel type of a dissipative soliton. The single soliton of this type has asymmetric spatial and spectral profiles and demonstrates bistability: two stable states with right and left spectral-spatial asymmetries for which the single soliton velocities are different.
