Dissipative Rogue Waves Generated by Chaotic Pulse Bunching in a Mode-Locked Laser
2012
Rare events of extremely high optical intensity are experimentally recorded at the output of a mode-locked fiber laser that operates in a strongly dissipative regime of chaotic multiple-pulse generation. The probability distribution of these intensity fluctuations, which highly depend on the cavity parameters, features a long-tailed distribution. Recorded intensity fluctuations result from the ceaseless relative motion and nonlinear interaction of pulses within a temporally localized multisoliton phase. © 2012 American Physical Society.
Optical bullets and "rockets" in nonlinear dissipative systems and their transformations and interactions
2006
We demonstrate the existence of stable optical light bullets in nonlinear dissipative media for both cases of normal and anomalous chromatic dispersion. The prediction is based on direct numerical simulations of the (3+1)-dimensional complex cubic-quintic GinzburgLandau equation. We do not impose conditions of spherical or cylindrical symmetry. Regions of existence of stable bullets are determined in the parameter space. Beyond the domain of parameters where stable bullets are found, unstable bullets can be transformed into >rockets> i.e. bullets elongated in the temporal domain. A few examples of the interaction between two optical bullets are considered using spatial and temporal interact…
Relative phase locking of pulses in a passively mode-locked fiber laser
2003
In a passively mode-locked fiber ring laser, we report the experimental observation of relative phase locking of pulses in a wide variety of cases. Relative phase locking is observed in bunches of N pulses separated by more than 20 pulse widths as well as in close pulse pairs. In the latter case, the phase relationship between the two pulses is measured to be ±π/2, which is related to theoretical predictions formerly obtained from a Ginzburg-Landau distributed model. We have developed a simplified numerical model adapted to our laser, which keeps its essential features while significantly reducing the number of free parameters. The agreement with the experiment is excellent. © 2003 Optical …
Bifurcations and multiple-period soliton pulsations in a passively mode-locked fiber laser
2004
The multiple-period pulsations of the soliton parameters in a passively mode-locked fiber laser were discussed numerically and experimentally. It was found that the pulse acquired a periodic evolution that was not related to the round-trip time and consisted of many round trips. The macroperiodicity existed independently or in combination with other periodicity such as period doubling, tripling etc. Analysis shows that the new periods in the soliton modulation appear at bifurcation point related to certain points related to certain values of the cavity parameters.

Soliton complexes in dissipative systems: Vibrating, shaking and mixed soliton pairs
2007
We show, numerically, that coupled soliton pairs in nonlinear dissipative systems modeled by the cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation can exist in various forms. They can be stationary, or they can pulsate periodically, quasiperiodically, or chaotically, as is the case for single solitons. In particular, we have found various types of vibrating and shaking soliton pairs. Each type is stable in the sense that a given bound state exists in the same form indefinitely. New solutions appear at special values of the equation parameters, thus bifurcating from stationary pairs. We also report the finding of mixed soliton pairs, formed by two different types of single solitons. We present …
Dissipative soliton interactions inside a fiber laser cavity
2005
We report our recent numerical and experimental observations of dissipative soliton interactions inside a fiber laser cavity. A bound state, formed from two pulses, may have a group velocity which differs from that of a single soliton. As a result, they can collide inside the cavity. This results in a variety of outcomes. Numerical simulations are based either on a continuous model or on a parameter-managed model of the cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation. Each of the models provides explanations for our experimental observations. © 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Dissipative soliton resonance as a guideline for high-energy pulse laser oscillators
2010
Dissipative soliton resonance (DSR) occurs in the close vicinity of a hypersurface in the space of parameters of the equation governing propagation in a dissipative nonlinear medium. Pulsed solutions can acquire virtually unlimited energies as soon as the equation parameters converge toward that specific hypersurface. Here we extend previous studies that have recently unveiled DSRs from the complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation. We clearly confirm the existence of DSR for a wide range of parameters in both regimes of chromatic dispersion, and we establish general features of the ultra-high-energy pulses that can be found close to a DSR. Application to high-energy mode-locked fiber …
Dissipative rogue waves out of fiber lasers
2012
We study rogue waves in dissipative systems such as unidirectional fiber laser. We have found that the probability of producing extreme pulses in this setup is higher than in any other system considered so far.
Dissipative soliton pulsations with periods beyond the laser cavity round trip time
2005
We review recent results on periodic pulsations of the soliton parameters in a passively mode-locked fiber laser. Solitons change their shape, amplitude, width and velocity periodically in time. These pulsations are limit cycles of a dissipative nonlinear system in an infinite-dimensional phase space. Pulsation periods can vary from a few to hundreds of round trips. We present a continuous model of a laser as well as a model with parameter management. The results of the modeling are supported with experimental results obtained using a fiber laser. © World Scientific Publishing Company.
phase-locked soliton pairs in a fiber ring laser
2002
We have experimentally observed the formation of stable pulse pairs with a π/2 phase difference in a passively mode-locked stretched-pulse fiber ring laser. We have developed a simplified theoretical model that, keeping the essential features of the experiment, reduces greatly the number of free parameters and solved it numerically. The agreement with the experimental results is excellent.
