We report on the experimental and numerical observations of synchronization and
desynchronization of bound states of multiple breathing solitons (breathing soliton …

Breathing solitons are nonlinear waves in which the energy concentrates in a localized and
oscillatory fashion. Similarly to stationary solitons, breathers in dissipative systems can form …

Bound states of solitons (“molecules”) occur in various settings, playing an important role in
the operation of fiber lasers, optical emulation, encoding, and communications. Soliton …

We implement a superlocalization method in the time domain that allows the observation of
the external motion of soliton molecules in a fiber ring cavity laser with unprecedented …

Compact bound states of light pulses in ultrafast lasers are known as optical soliton
molecules. They constitute nonlinear superstructures of choice to investigate complex …

Nonlinear systems with two competing frequencies show locking or resonances. In lasers,
the two interacting frequencies can be the cavity repetition rate and a frequency externally …

Dissipative solitons are self-localized coherent structures arising from the balance between
energy supply and dissipation. Besides stationary dissipative solitons, there are dynamical …

When a laser cavity supports the propagation of several ultrashort pulses, these pulses can
form compact bound states called soliton molecules. Soliton molecules are fascinating …

Breathing optical solitons propagating in a dissipative nonlinear system can interact and
bind stably, forming an optical soliton molecule that presents striking molecule‐like …

A few years after the discovery of the stable dissipative soliton pairs in passively mode-
locked lasers, a large variety of multi-soliton complexes were studied in both experiments …
