    Abstract

    We have found new dissipative soliton in the laser model described by the complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg- Landau equation. The soliton periodically generates spikes with extreme amplitude and short duration. At certain range of the equation parameters, these extreme spikes appear in pairs of slightly unequal amplitude. The bifurcation diagram of spike amplitude versus dispersion parameter reveals the regions of both regular and chaotic evolution of the maximal amplitudes.
