Real time Dynamics of Femtosecond Soliton Molecules — •Georg Herink1, Felix Kurtz2, Claus Ropers2 und Daniel Solli3 — 1Universität Bayreuth, Bayreuth, Deutschland — 2Universität Göttingen, Göttingen, Deutschland — 3UCLA, Los Angeles, USA
Femtosecond lasers feature bound states of ultrashort pulses, known as Soliton molecules. The rapid internal motion of such bound states can be resolved in real-time based on the time-stretch dispersive Fourier transformation. We present the initial binding of soliton molecules and resolve several classes of bound state dynamics, ranging from highly regular to stochastic trajectories. The underlying mechanisms are discussed and implications for novel states of laser operation are highlighted.
