Abstract

We consider a model of a matter-wave laser generating a periodic array of solitary-wave pulses. The system, a general version of which was recently proposed by us (2005 J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 38 4221), is composed of two parallel tunnel-coupled cigar-shaped traps (a reservoir and a lasing cavity), solitons being released through a valve at one edge of the cavity. We report a stable lasing mode accounted for by circulations of a narrow soliton in the cavity, which generates an array of strong pulses (with 10 3-104 atoms in each, the array's duty cycle being ≃30%) when the soliton periodically hits the valve.
