Abstract

The dynamics of a ring cavity containing an optical fiber are reexamined. A train of picosecond pulses from an additive pulses mode-locked laser synchronously drives the system. The fiber introduces a fast Kerr-type nonlinearity and limits the cavity to a single transverse mode. The experiment is performed near the zero dispersion wavelength of the fiber. A clear route to chaos up to period 8 is observed.
