    Temporal dissipative solitons in a delayed model of a ring semiconductor laser

    Temporal cavity solitons are short pulses observed in periodic time traces of the electric field envelope in active and passive optical cavities. They sit on a stable background so that their trajectory comes close to a stable CW solution between the pulses. A common approach to predict and study these solitons theoretically is based on the use of Ginzburg-Landau-type partial differential equations, which, however, cannot adequately describe the dynamics of many realistic laser systems. Here for the first time we demonstrate formation of temporal cavity soliton solutions in a time-delay model of a ring semiconductor cavity with coherent optical injection, operating in anomalous dispersion regime, and perform bifurcation analysis of these solutions.

    Temporal cavity solitons in a delayed model of a dispersive cavity ring laser
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Pimenov, Alexander; Amiranashvili, Shalva; Vladimirov, Andrei G.
    Nonlinear localised structures appear as solitary states in systems with multistability and hysteresis. In particular, localised structures of light known as temporal cavity solitons were observed recently experimentally in driven Kerr-cavities operating in the anomalous dispersion regime when one of the two bistable spatially homogeneous steady states exhibits a modulational instability. We use a distributed delay system to study theoretically the formation of temporal cavity solitons in an optically injected ring semiconductor-based fiber laser, and propose an approach to derive reduced delay-differential equation models taking into account the dispersion of the intracavity fiber delay line. Using these equations we perform the stability and bifurcation analysis of injection-locked CW states and temporal cavity solitons.
