摘要: This paper reports narrowing and splitting of 7-ps-duration pulses from a mode-locked color-center laser by 700-m-long, single-mode silica-glass fiber, at wavelength (1.55 \ensuremath{\mu}m) loss large but negative group-velocity dispersion. At certain critical power levels, the observed behavior is characteristic solitons.
