From page 7...
... The idea was to inject a weak continuous wave signal at a frequency corresponding to He Stokes-downshifted Raman frequency to restore the depleted soliton pulse energy. Although He soliton interaction properties could be inferred from inverse scattering theory (IST)

From page 8...
... Further, fiber lasers and extended cavities utilizing fibers are being developed to produce mode-Iocked pulse trains (soliton laser, modulational instability laser, fiber Raman laser, additive pulse mode locking)
