On the basis of numerical simulation, it is found that powerful long-distance soliton wings can be formed by dispersive waves which are emitted by solitons because of lumped elements in a laser cavity. We analyze peculiarities of the interaction of two solitons through such wings in lasers with lumped saturable absorbers. Various sets of bound steady states of a two-soliton molecule are demonstrated. The relation between the spectral sidebands and the dispersive-wave wings of a soliton is found. The periodic changes in a soliton\u27s profile during its pass through the laser cavity are studied
