摘要: We report here the first experimental observation of $N=3$ solitonlike pulses generated by a passively mode-locked ring laser at 620 nm. The evolution pulse shape is recorded along soliton period corresponding to about 2400 cavity round trips. Experimental indications character any produced this type are also obtained. Properties high-order solitons could offer new possibilities intracavity compression.
