Abstract

We show the existence of periodic exploding dissipative solitons. These non-chaotic explosions appear when higher-order nonlinear and dispersive effects are added to the complex cubic quintic Ginzburg Landau equation modelling soliton transmission lines. This counterintuitive phenomenon is the result of period-halving bifurcations leading to order (periodic explosions), followed by perioddoubling bifurcations (or intermittency) leading to chaos (non-periodic explosions).
