Abstract
The generation and propagation of bright and dark soliton pulses is of great scientific interest with relevance to many futuristic telecommunication and optical-processing applications. Bright solitons have been the subject of intense experimental investigation; however, the experimental study of dark- pulse behavior has been limited. This situation is in no small WF3 Fig. 1. Experimental configuration. WF3 Fig. 2. Autocorrelation trace and optical spectrum of (a) 110-GHz 800-fs bright soliton train and (b) 110-GHz dark pulse train. part due to the difficulty of generating and measuring such pulse forms (see, e.g., Ref. 1 and the references therein)
