Abstract

On basis of numerical simulation it is found that the long-distance soliton wings can be formed by dispersive waves emitted by ultrashort pulses due to of various lumped elements in passive mode-locked fiber lasers. Peculiarities of the interaction of two solitons through such wings in lasers with lumped saturable absorbers (SA) are analyzed. Different sets of bound steady-states of two-soliton molecule are obtained. Among them there are sets with and without an alternation of parity of neighboring quantum steady-states. It is shown that the investigated interaction can result in mechanisms of both attraction and repulsion of loosely bound solitons. It is demonstrated a coding of an information by highly-stable bound soliton sequences.
