Atomic terahertz-vibrations solve the enigma of ultrashort soliton molecules — ScienceDaily - Verve Times

Stable packets of light waves -- called optical solitons -- are emitted in ultrashort-pulse lasers as a chain of light flashes. These solitons often combine into pairs with very short temporal separation. Introducing atomic vibrations in the terahert
