Abstract
We report on the observation of bound state of some hundreds of solitons in a passively mode-locked Er:Yb-doped fiber laser. A double-clad fiber is used in a unidirectional ring cavity where the mode-locking is obtained thanks to the nonlinear polarization rotation. The phenomenon is described theoretically using a multiscale approach to the gain dynamics.
