Abstract

Soliton solutions of a cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation (CQGLE) are computed and analyzed on a parametric plane, specifically across the transitional zones that separate regions associated with different types of solitons. The transformations of behaviors in these transitional zones between stationary and pulsating regions are characterized by the total pulse energy and its maximum value. It is also found that the initial pulse waveform has little effect on bifurcation and the valid range of initial amplitude.
