Observation of Optical Chaotic Solitons and Modulated Subharmonic Route to Chaos in Mode-Locked Laser
We reveal a new scenario for the transition of solitons to chaos in a mode-locked fiber laser: the modulated subharmonic route. Its universality is confirmed in two different laser configurations, namely, a figure-of-eight and a ring laser. Numerical simulations of the laser models agree well with the experiments. The modulated subharmonic route to chaos could stimulate parallel research in many nonlinear physical systems.
