Temporal cavity soliton interaction in passively mode-locked semiconductor lasers (2304.09683v1)
Published 19 Apr 2023 in physics.optics and nlin.PS
Abstract: Weak interaction of temporal cavity solitons due to gain saturation and recovery in a delay differential model of a long cavity semiconductor laser is studied numerically and analytically using an asymptotic approach. It is shown that in addition to the usual soliton repulsion leading to a harmonic mode-locking regimes a soliton attraction is also possible in a laser with nonzero linewidth enhancement factor. It is shown numerically that this attraction can lead either to a pulse merging or to a pulse bound state formation.
