In [1]–[4], an electrical soliton oscillator was reported. We called it the Baseband Soliton Oscillator (BSO) because [4] also considered a similar device that supported envelope solitons (the ESO). A recent paper remarked that the BSO lacked “robustness, reproducibility and controllability” and claimed priority for such a device [5]. This is difficult for readers to assess for themselves as [1] (the only published record of the bulk of our work) is not cited. A few words of clarification are thus required.
Abstract:
A recent paper on soliton oscillators gave a parsimonious account of earlier work and omitted a critical reference.Metadata
