We demonstrate the extraction of a single soliton from a bunch of solitons generated by the pulse breakup effect. The bunch of solitons was generated in a 500-m fiber pumped by 25-ps pulses. For the extraction of single soliton from the bunch we use a nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM). At its output we detected a pulse with full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 0.99 ps whose autocorrelation trace corresponds to that of a soliton. Our results demonstrate that the suggested method can be useful for soliton generation, and also for investigations of the initial stage of the soliton formation process.
我们展示了从由脉冲分裂效应产生的一束孤子中提取单个孤子的过程。这束孤子是在一根由25皮秒脉冲泵浦的500米光纤中产生的。为了从这束孤子中提取单个孤子，我们使用了一个非线性光学环形镜（NOLM）。在其输出端，我们检测到一个半高全宽（FWHM）为0.99皮秒的脉冲，其自相关轨迹与孤子的自相关轨迹相符。我们的结果表明，所提出的方法可用于孤子产生，也可用于研究孤子形成过程的初始阶段。
