Optical power profile in the time domain of a mode-locked laser with anomalous GVD (soliton) when (a) \({P}_{sat,g}=6\ m\mathrm{W}, \gamma =2 \times {10}^{-3} {\mathrm{W}}^{-1}{\mathrm{m}}^{-1}, \nu =0\), b \({P}_{sat,g}=63\ m\mathrm{W}, \gamma =2 \times {10}^{-3} {\mathrm{W}}^{-1}{\mathrm{m}}^{-1}, \nu =0\), and c \({P}_{sat,g}=63\ m\mathrm{W}, \gamma =2 \times {10}^{-3} {\mathrm{W}}^{-1}{\mathrm{m}}^{-1}, \nu =-5.55\times {10}^{-7} {\mathrm{W}}^{-2}/\mathrm{m}\). Optical spectrum when (d) \({P}_{sat,g}=6\ m\mathrm{W}, \gamma =2 \times {10}^{-3} {\mathrm{W}}^{-1}{\mathrm{m}}^{-1}, \nu =0\), e \({P}_{sat,g}=63\ m\mathrm{W}, \gamma =2 \times {10}^{-3} {\mathrm{W}}^{-1}{\mathrm{m}}^{-1}, \nu =0\), and f \({P}_{sat,g}=63\ m\mathrm{W}, \gamma =2 \times {10}^{-3} {\mathrm{W}}^{-1}{\mathrm{m}}^{-1}, \nu =-5.55\times {10}^{-7}{\mathrm{ W}}^{-2}/\mathrm{m}\). The insets in (a–c) show a magnified view of a pulse in the time domain
