Abstract

Steady ultrashort bright optical pulses, which are originating in single-mode erbium-doped fibers operating within a nonlinear transmission, are analytically investigated. This type of steady-state bright optical pulses can be grown in real time scale due to incoherent resculpturing of external optical pulses by the doped fiber in the traveling-wave regime of propagation. The performed analysis is related to the regimes without and with the gain saturation in a doped fiber and demonstrates that single-mode optical fibers can form and support steady-state bright pulses with various shapes of their envelopes in these regimes. Basically, these bright optical pulses have a smooth hyperbolic-secant shape, however in particular cases, both a two-side exponential and a two-side hyperbolic shapes can be also supported by the erbium-doped fibers within a nonlinear transmission.
