title: Gain-guided solitons in dispersion-managed fiber lasers with large net cavity dispersion.
abstract: Gain-guided solitons are experimentally observed in dispersion-managed fiber lasers with large net positive group-velocity dispersion. It is shown that formation of the soliton is a robust feature of the lasers. Numerical simulations also confirmed the experimental results.
