title: Long-range soliton interactions through gain-absorption depletion and recovery.
abstract: We report the interpulse dynamics in fiber soliton laser because of depletion and relaxation of gain and absorption. The soliton interaction range is shown to depend largely on the relaxation time of dissipative parameters while the compensation of the dynamical gain and absorption depletion leads to the formation of stationary soliton groups with unequal interpulse distances.
