Multibound solitons generation with a controllable number of bound states in a passive mode-locked all-fiber erbium-doped ring laser

We have studied generation of stable and low-noise de-chirped ultrashort solitons in bound states and we have experimentally demonstrated the formation multi-bound solitons with the controllable number of bound states 7 < N < 17 by pump power variation. A numerical simulation of the influence of various types of fluctuations on the generation mode was also carried out.
