Multiple-Pulse Operation and Bound States of Solitons in Passive Mode-Locked Fiber Lasers

Figure 8

Dependences of the peak intensities for two intracavity pulses in established operation on pumping for hard (a) and soft (b) regimes of excitation and annihilation of the second soliton. The dependences for first and second pulses are denoted by digits 1 and 2, respectively.
