Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 143902 (2005) [4 pages]Experimental Observation of Temporal Soliton MoleculesReceived 12 April 2005; published 28 September 2005 A bound state of temporal solitons in optical fibers is predicted numerically and demonstrated experimentally. It is appropriately described as a pair of bright solitons, bound together by a dark soliton. This structure exists only in dispersion-managed fiber and is different from bound solitons in fiber lasers. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
