Self-mode-locking action in a dual-core ring fiber laser

With the help of numerical experiments we demonstrate the self-starting soliton generation in a dual-core ring fiber laser without any external mode-locking mechanism. This result makes evident that the nonlinear energy switching between the active and the passive cores acts as a self-mode-locking m...
