Abstrakt: We study the propagation of ultrashort pulses in optical fiber with gain and positive (or normal) quartic dispersion by self-similarity analysis of the modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We find an exact asymptotic solution, corresponding to a triangle-like T 4/3 intensity profile, with a T 1/3 chirp, which is confirmed by numerical simulations. This solution follows different amplitude and width scaling compared to the conventional case with quadratic dispersion. We also suggest, and numerically investigate, a fiber laser consisting of components with positive quartic dispersion that emits quartic self-similar pulses.
